I had a really painful time trying to contribute to the angular 2 project. I get the impression that the developers actively working on this are working with discussion mostly internal to Google.
It's a shame, because it does seem like both a very powerful and nice approach to building SPAs that I would love to contribute to.
- hockeybias 11y agoI don't know that its a shame as it may have saved a good deal of time and I think it all looks quite promising!
- pkozlowski_os 11y ago@estsauver while I agree that it takes some time to get into contributing into a big project like Angular 2, it is simply not true that it is "Google only" project. I'm a regular contributor (#6 in terms of no of commits: https://github.com/angular/angular/graphs/contributors https://github.com/angular/angular/graphs/contributors) and I don't work for Google. Angular team is bunch of great people, real pleasure to work with. I can tell you - the initial effort to start contributing pays off _very_ fast.

- hitekker 11y agoCurious: could you describe why it was difficult to contribute?
- throwawaymaroon 11y agoWell, that's what happens when a powerful and controlling company gives lip service to open source.
- gotchange 11y agoCan't you just fork the project and work on your own from there?
