I am a GHC-newbie happy to help. Besides cloning, building the sources and reading the introductory pages on the GHC wiki, is there anything else I can do to prepare for the event? Are there any easier parts to start reading the code?
not sure, and I was a newbie very recently as well, so I can only give so much guidance and I won’t promise success. At least we’ll have fun :-) If you are ready to build the code, then that’s a good start. Bonus points if you can know how to validate the code, and even better if you have a dedicated checkout for that. Of course, you can skim through the list of bugs and mark some as interesting to you (but putting yourself on the CC list) already.
