Before I put any effort into an Open Source contribution, I always check the water first:
- Does the project have stale PRs?
- Do they react to small fixes? (typos, broken links)
- veave 3y agoDo they have thousands of open issues? (I'm sitting myself on a VLC bug which I can't be arsed to report)
- Dhikshith12 3y agoI'm pretty sure that's not a typo or a small fix, many people use scientific mode and type negative exponents and it gives this "2.6exp-2 == 0.6", it concerned me, so i tried to fix it, and opened a pr.
- sshine 3y agoI agree with you. The point I'm making is: Before I put any real effort into a fix, I test if they are receptible to something that was easy for me to make, and should be easy for them to validate, e.g. a typo fix. Because what you often find out is that people are not interested in being active maintainers.
