will give you a solid, more or less complete overview of what
our challenges are and what we are trying to build.

This trac page:

https://dev.lsstcorp.org/trac/wiki/db/Qserv

contains a lot of detailed technical information, especially
the "Design" section will be relevant. It is not 100% up to date,
but it is not too bad either!

Third, a lot of action these days happens in jira:
https://jira.lsstcorp.org/secure/Dashboard.jspa?selectPageId=10501

this will give you a good perspective what we are doing now,
and what we are planning to do soon. At some point, when
you are a little more up to speed, I'd recommend to peek at
our planning board:

https://jira.lsstcorp.org/secure/RapidBoard.jspa?rapidView=23&view=planning

and see if you can see any task(s) that you'd like to take on.

To get started with the code, have a look at the readme* in qserv repo:

https://dev.lsstcorp.org/cgit/LSST/DMS/qserv.git/tree/

And theoretically, if you follow the instructions you should have
qserv and all dependencies all downloaded, built, installed,
configured and up in ~30 min.

I think the readme* is not completely clear about how to
checkout qserv, (we will fix it). It is basically

git repo cloning (for LSST DM users)
    git clone git://dev.lsstcorp.org/LSST/DMS/qserv

git repo cloning (for external users; anonymous, read-only)
   git clone http://dev.lsstcorp.org/git/LSST/DMS/qserv

Let us know how it goes!
Jacek
