[GSoC2016]Seeking guidance for choosing projects and where to start

Hello all! I am Jensen Jiang from Peking University and I major in Computer Science. I am familiar with Python & C++, and I am interested in content management. I have read through the ideas list and it told me to know further here. Currently, I think the project "eBook Content Export" suits me(other topics are okay, but i am not that familiar with JS...)

Would anyone like to give me some advice on the project choosing and guidance on where to start? Thanks a lot!

One last question: It seems not convenient for developers to have Plone installed on a remote VPS, so I wonder is it OK to install it on my local laptop?

Hi!
Here are our Plone training materials, which guide you through from the beginning: http://training.plone.org/5/

And this is our official documentation: http://docs.plone.org/

Installing on your local laptop is totally ok. In the training you will find the answer: http://training.plone.org/5/plone_training_config/instructions.html

Thank you very much!:slight_smile:
