    Hi, I would like to contribute. How can I get started?
    • amallia 7y ago
      Writing some documentation is definitely the first thing to get familiar with the code. Are you a C++ developer?
      • ABahajaj 7y ago
        Yeah, I know C/C++. Ok, I can write some documentation. I joined your slack channel. I will message you there.

  Kudos on your work! Just a tangential comment: we seem to inadvertently reuse names in Computer Science fairly often. For instance, there’s a somewhat recent SIGCOMM paper also called PISA [1]. Of course, in both the cases the name is a natural acronym and I don’t think anyone would be mistaking one for the other - this is just quite amusing to me!

    Interesting! As long as there is no other OS software with the name PISA it should not be too confusing. Thanks for pointing out.
