Anyone have ideas as to how I might go about thinking of a project that would sound promising and be helpful to the Ruby community? I'd certainly consider myself a proficient Ruby developer, but I'm not nearly as familiar with the development of these project and what they're lacking. Where might I start?
- jamesbritt 17y agoWrite docs for the standard library. Yeah, I know: Not sexy. Still, stuff like that would have greater benefit to the various Ruby communities than yet another Rails plugin.
- halostatue 17y agoI've applied to be a mentor, and I've suggested that some of my existing projects could use some love for Ruby 1.9. One, net-ldap, has some Ruby 1.9 support, but needs more overall features and development. Obviously, this is not just about maintenance, but these are ideas; you can also look for things that haven't yet been addressed and propose those. Based on my experience as a GSOC mentor, though, I think that maintenance and enhancement projects (adding new features to existing projects) are more successful in the end than greenfield projects.
