The best place to start is to become familiar with fedmsg, the tool that this project is based off of. Understanding these tools is important to understand what we want to do with the Perceval plugin with fedmsg. Fedora has a live "messaging bus" of activity happening throughout the project. It's a lot of raw data by itself, but we have tools to help us make sense of the data. http://fedmsg.com/ https://github.com/fedora-infra/fedmsg If fedmsg is the "data bus", then datagrepper is a tool we use to filter the data and make sense of little bits of it at a time. You can actually perform datagrepper queries from real Fedora data (it might be more interesting and helpful for you to set up datagrepper in a development environment instead of fedmsg itself). https://github.com/fedora-infra/datagrepper https://apps.fedoraproject.org/datagrepper/ If you are eager to get started, check out some of the GitHub issues for fedmsg and datagrepper. See if any of them feel like something you could work on. I'm not able to offer much assistance on these, but Sachin (skamath in IRC) is more familiar with the tools if you have questions. https://github.com/fedora-infra/fedmsg/issues https://github.com/fedora-infra/datagrepper/issues I hope this is helpful. Do you have any questions for us? -- Cheers, Justin W. Flory jflory7(a)gmail.com
