How to get started to contribute for GSoC 2018

Hi. I’m new to this forum and to LanguageTool.

I’m interested in understanding the core logic for error detection which needs Java. I’m pretty good in Java and I was hoping I could contribute something to help you out.

Please let me know how I can get started.

Hi Raghav

Thanks for your interest in LT. You can probably start with our wiki:
First you may wanna check what LanguageTool is and how it works: Papers - LanguageTool Wiki
Then you can read about development: http://wiki.languagetool.org/ and https://languagetool.org/development/
And then you can get the code and try it out: GitHub - languagetool-org/languagetool: Style and Grammar Checker for 25+ Languages

There’s also a list of suggested improvements to LT: Make LanguageTool Better! - LanguageTool Wiki

If you have any questions you can always ask here,
