GSoC 2020 -- Add-ons project . - ssurbhi560 - 2020-03-03

Hello,
I am Surbhi Sharma, I want to participate in GSoC 2020. I came across the projects mentioned in here [0], and I am excited to work on the "Add-ons -- Automatic add-on checker for binary add-ons "
I am new to open source paradigm and want to learn more about it .
I know python and is always interested and ready to learn whatever required to understand the project and code behind Kodi better.
So if you could please give some suggestions on how to get started with getting involved with contributing to Kodi  and learn more about things required to know for the projects .

Hey there!

I would start having a look at the addon checker for python addons, to get a grasp what we're doing for those.
https://github.com/xbmc/addon-check

You should also read about binary addons either in the wiki or try to create/analyze one on your own. So that you know the ropes.
