I am a junior undergraduate student in India and I wanted to start in the direction of the project Codebase Improvements: OOP and refactoring. 

I have done a similar project for a Software Engineering course in my own university where I worked on a "working" Teaching Fellows Applications portal. The portal was built using an MVC framework: web2py. The goal of the project was to refactor the entire system to meet code standards and divide the codebase into logical components and classes to make it more readable and easy to extend.

Relevant to the project, my skill set includes PHP, HTML/CSS and JS. I have with codeigniter framework to develop a project which gave a good experience of OBJECT ORIENTED PHP as well.

I am fairly new to open source development and I would highly appreciate if someone could give me directions as to where should I start.

Thank you

Sincerely,

Amar Budhiraja
