Re: [Bug-wget] [GSOC 2017] Design and implementation of a statistics module

[Darshit Shah]

Hi Avinash,

Great to hear that you've already made a head start with cloning the 
repo and ensuring that it compiles locally for you. That is an important 
first step.

Sadly, there isn't a lot of detailed documentation available for Wget2.  
It is a relatively new codebase and we haven't documented all aspects of 
the library yet. The page you found was made for Wget 1.x. Nothing 
similar currently exists for Wget2. However, the code is fairly simple 
and easy to follow. If you're ever stuck, just drop us a mail and 
someone will respond and help you out.

As for some low hanging fruits, have you tried looking into the bug 
tracker? DO you see something interesting? There isn't a lot on it 
currently, but if you find something interesting, you could work on it.
Apart from that, try using Wget2 as much as possible. Try to find cases, 
where it breaks compatibility with Wget 1.x, or corner cases that break 
expectations / cause wget2 to crash. File issues about those and see if 
you would like to solve those issues.

Another simple low hanging fruit is to improve the test coverage of 
libwget and wget2. Try to write new unit tests and integration tests to 
ensure that regressions are not introduced in the future.
