Hi list,
A newbie here.
I'm interested in contributing to SpiderMonkey and I've read some
information about SpiderMonkey on MDN and MozillaWiki.
FYI - I'm familiar with:
* JavaScript (ES5)
* Bugzilla
* MozillaWiki
* ANSI C
* C++98
* JSON
* Beavis and Butt-head Do America (which is the origin of the name
"SpiderMonkey" :-)
I'm not familiar with (yet):
* ES6 (and TC-39, and thHie standardization process)
* Mercurial
* Try Server
* JIT and bytecode
* Garbage collection
* JS engine benchmarking (Kraken/SunSpider/Octane)
* Instruction sets
* asm.js
* IRC
* Make (I can only write some very simple rules.)
* Security
This is great that you made such list, but don't worry we can always help you.
About:
- IRC:
Read the documentation which is on [1], and you can join the #jsapi
channel, which is were SpiderMonkey developers are chatting. Sadly, we are
unlikely to have a fast answer today as most of us are travelling.
[1] https://wiki.mozilla.org/IRC
- Mercurial:
You can find some documentation at the following link:
https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Mercurial
- Try Server:
Don't worry about it, the usual process is that we make a few patches
first, and ask the reviewer to push the patch to try and then to
mozilla-inbound.
(sorry I have to cut my reply short, I will continue tomorrow … I have to
take a bus)
Welcome :)
