I think more people might take part if it was less intense. It's going to be hard to learn multiple code bases and submit a meaningful pull request every day if you're full-time employed. 12 days of Christmas, 12 pull requests!
- k-mcgrady 13y ago>> "submit a meaningful pull request" Might be a chance to get some of the less meaningful bugs fixed in projects (the kind of things people ignore because they aren't interesting enough). >> "It's going to be hard to learn multiple code bases" Why not contribute to projects you use regularly and therefore already know the codebase quite well?
- pyre 13y agoAs I've stated elsewhere, I've come across a ton of out-of-date documentation on projects. Just submitting a one or two line change to a README that has wrong information is helpful. For example: https://github.com/trek/grunt-neuter/pull/41 https://github.com/trek/grunt-neuter/pull/41 or https://github.com/sakatam/grunt-webmake/pull/1 https://github.com/sakatam/grunt-webmake/pull/1 Another thing that I've found severely lacking is examples of complex data setups in ember-data. I'm currently working on a complex app in Ember, but don't have the outside time to boil my misgivings into examples (yet).
- Cakez0r 13y agoYeah, but you still need to learn how the project works to update the docs. If you're a contributor 8 different projects already, then it might not be too unrealistic to submit 3 pull requests for each over the course of 24 days. But if somebody already knows their way around 8 open source projects then this initiative probably isn't aimed at them.
