I would like to contribute as a developer to the Clam-AV project

Hi,

I am interested in contributing as a developer to the clam-av project.

Some background about me:  I have over 14 years of professional (industry)
kernel development experience in Unix like operating systems including
Solaris and FreeBSD. I was a member of the Solaris kernel team at Sun for
over 12 years. I have a lot of experience debugging multi-threaded kernel
code with access only to assembly code. I have very good knowledge of Unix
kernel internals, C and assembly and very strong Unix user-level programming
as well, including Posix threads, POSIX API, generic UNIX API. I have
developed kernel drivers on both Solaris and FreeBSD, system libraries and
utilities on Solaris.

I am willing to work hard and start at the bottom (I.e. contributing bug
fixes etc.)  I am willing to work outside my area of prior experience (for
example Windows or Mac development)

Could you please let me know how I can go about becoming a contributor.

Thanks,
Vikram

As you have just suggested, the common way to becoming a contributor
to Free software projects is to contribute!

If you annoy the developers with too many good patches they may well
punish you by recognising you as a developer as well.

thank you for your interest in contributing to ClamAV.

We have a bunch of possible improvements listed here:

For example the flash (ActionScript 3) disassembly is something that
