- technomancy 15y agoWith Leiningen, my Clojure project (http://github.com/technomancy/leiningen http://github.com/technomancy/leiningen) I make an effort to periodically publish any "low-hanging fruit" TODOs that are suitable for newcomers to implement. There hasn't been as much recently since most of that kind of thing has been implemented, but explicitly calling out those places has helped a lot in the past.

- mister_m 15y agoI think stuff like this is great. I was interested in contributing to this project years ago before I really knew how to program very well. I still have never contributed to OSS, or anything like that. I will have a guilty conscience if I don't now.
