Обсуждение: Begin contribution journey to postgres

I'd probably start by reading the developer FAQ:
https://wiki.postgresql.org/wiki/Developer_FAQ#How_do_I_get_involved_in_PostgreSQL_development.3F
and subscribing to the pgsql-novice@lists.postgresql.org mailing list.

To get a copy of the source on your machine, the docs:
https://www.postgresql.org/docs/current/git.html and
https://wiki.postgresql.org/wiki/Working_with_Git may also be helpful.

Additionally, https://wiki.postgresql.org/wiki/So,_you_want_to_be_a_developer%3F
will likely be a very helpful starting point as well.

Well, there is a TODO list on our wiki, but sadly it's been nearly
unmaintained for a long time.  I wouldn't trust it as a guide to
things that should be done.  Moreover, most of the stuff that got onto
that list got there because it was too hard to get done quickly
and/or there wasn't consensus.

The best thing I can think of for a new developer to get started
is to help review some in-progress patches.  Even simple things
like "does it pass tests" or "is the documentation intelligible"
are helpful.  But your main goal should be to read the patches
and start learning your way around the Postgres code base that way.
We keep track of unapplied patches in our "commit fest" app:

https://commitfest.postgresql.org

Look through the list, select some that fit your interests,
start reading the associated mailing list threads.

BTW, pretty nearly all discussion about PG development happens on
pgsql-hackers.  The pgsql-novice list is meant for novice users'
questions, not so much novice developers.

Welcome!
