Open Source
closed account (Lv0f92yv)
I am looking to get some experience looking at larger projects/open source projects that I may build and run on my own (I'm probably not good enough yet to contribute in any significant way). I have some experience using SVN repos and tortoise, but I notice popular (well known) open source projects like Mozilla Firefox use a different distribution method.
Does anyone know of a relatively small open source project that I can start with? I have checked out source forge, but there is quite a bit there and not all of it is written in Java or C++ (the languages which I am most familiar with).
Thanks.

Like you said, there are tons of projects of varying sizes.
The best way to start is to add some functionality you need or fix something that bothers you about one of the "smaller" open source applications that you're already using. That's how many volunteer open source developers operate - improve it until it "works for you".
