Dear Ovidiu Rosu,

Lars forwarded me this email and I'd like to highlight that we are still in
the process of finalizing the projects.
But we have some project ideas already on our page -
http://dhis2.org/gsoc2013
These projects are new ideas, but use existing frameworks, technologies and
APIs

A good way to get started would be to compile the DHIS2 codebase and
install it.
http://dhis2.org/development - Follow the instructions from this page for
the same.
Then look through the frameworks like Struts, Hibernate and how they are
used in DHIS2. Ask questions where you get stuck and have trouble
understanding. In the process we will improve our developer documentation
and provide starting steps for DHIS2 development.

 - Will be good to signup for a launchpad.net ID
 - Signup for the  dhis2-devs mailing list...
 - Playing around with the demo - apps.dhis2.org/demo
 - Follow through the documentation -
http://dhis2.org/doc/snapshot/en/implementer/dhis2_implementation_guide_en_full.html
 - Look at the presentations -
http://dhis2.org/download/presentations/presentations.zip

These might help you give conceptual understanding about DHIS2 that will be
useful for becoming a developer on the platform.

PS: To the dev list, please help bring together other pieces of
documentation that might be useful for incoming students
