[Scilab-Dev] Contributing to scilab

[Clément David]

Hi Nikhil and welcome,

I saw your mail and accepted it but a bit late :). About the process, we usually do not assign a bug
to new-comers as the Assignee field is just a reminder for us. You should select a bug, fix it and
either mail the patch (using `git format-patch`) or push it to the codereview (and add a reviewer).

All (and probably too much :) ) information are on the wiki.scilab.org, do not hesitate to use the
gsoc ML for beginners question (compiling scilab, commit and push a patch).

Thanks,
