[ovirt-devel] What should I do to understand ovirt from source code ?

[Greg Sheremeta]

Hi Luke,

oVirt is a huge project. I doubt there's anyone that understands every part
of the code.

Is there a specific part you're looking to learn more about? Do you have a
long-term goal -- like fixing bugs, changing screens, etc.?
