Re: [Gluster-devel] looking for a start point to start Glusterfs development

[John Mark Walker]

Hi Kunal,

Welcome to the Gluster community! I hope you find much here to inspire you. 

You can also find some architectural documents here: 
http://www.gluster.org/community/documentation/index.php/Arch 

And the developers page, as Vijay pointed out. May I ask what your particular 
area of interest is?

Welcome!
JM
