If you are looking for things to do, the best place to find out is to jump into the #xiphos channel of irc.freenode.net
If you make changes to C or C++ files, please make sure they are cleaned up to follow our style of coding. The best way to make sure of it is to run this:
$ clang-format -i -style=file /path/to/edited.c
Where /path/to/edited.c, the C or C++ file you edited. The option '-style=file' uses a predefined style file called .clang-format in the source tree.
Thank you!
We hope that your Bible study will be enhanced by Xiphos!
