[dpdk-dev] Q on contribution to DPDK

[r k]

Hi Jim,

Thanks for your response. I did check DPDK roadmap and it wasn't clear
to me what's available to be implemented. In addition, roadmap lists
features but doesn't give description as to what needs to be done. It
might be no brainer for original developers but it will definitely
help outsiders if some information is provided. Also I was thinking if
I can start-off with bug fixing initially to get acquainted with the
code and then start off with more things. Please let me know your
inputs.

Thanks,
Ravi
