After you feel you understand of the [[System Architecture|architecture]] of the system and have the [[Source Code|source code]] built and running, you'll want to jump into a specific area and start contributing. At this stage its helpful to understand the directory layout of the [http://github.com/sirikata repository]:

<pre>
 
build/ - CMake build system, will need to be updated with any new projects or source files
 
cppoh/ - C++ ObjectHost binary, what you'll run to simulate objects (which are "scripted" using C++, eventually we'd like other object hosts too)
 
externals/ - external projects that are hard linked into our tree
 
libcore/ - Core library, mostly utility code that will be used all over the system, including in the ObjectHost and Space.  
 
liboh/ - ObjectHost library, contains interfaces and some code which is shared among all ObjectHost implementations
 
libproximity/ - Proximity library, shared interfaces and implementations of proximity related services
 
libspace/ - Space library, contains interfaces and some code which is shared among all Space implementations
 
proximity/ - Proximity binary, what you'll actually run to run a proximity service, uses libproximity, adds implementations, plugins
 
space/ - Space binary, what you'll actually run to run a space service, uses libspace, adds implementations, plugins

Based on the above listing you'll want to dig deeper into whichever directory contains the area you're interested in working on.
