Where would be a good place to get started with helping merge the client into mainline?

Thanks

Hi Ben

     Thanks for helping out for this work. I added people in the chain that have contributed a great
deal to the upstream client so we can coordinate our work. Also I like to make people aware
a lustre IRC channel does exist.   Andreas can supply the details about the IRC channel. Currently
my work has been focused on the libcfs/lnet layer. I had discuss early with Mike Shuey  since he
was also working in that area but will be migrating to the lustre core.

    Since more people are getting involved we need to find  a way to break up the work to avoid
duplicate work. Should the work be broken  up by layer, i.e lov, mdc, or by task such as removing
specific checkpatch errors with files?

For the work I have done with Coccinelle, it is more convenient to do the
whole thing.  Breaking things up by layer is not helpful.

This is just a data point, though. It doesn't have to imply anything about
how others work on the code.

I suggest breaking it up first by work type.  As Julia noted, 
coccinelle/checkpatch/etc fixes (coding style, straightforward errors 
caught by the tools, sparse complaints, warnings, etc.) rarely require 
awareness of the larger flow of the design.

Then there is some other types of cleanup that require more Lustre 
knowledge to tackle.  If possible, those would be better for someone 
like Ben (or you, James) to work on.  What do we have for that kind of work?

I'd be happy to continue work on the format, whitespace, and coding
style changes, on any areas that aren't already spoken for.

Justin Miller also made the IRC details also available here:
