A reminder there is a London PM Hack Day tomorrow afternoon at the London Hackspace where people can work on whatever Perl they want.
My main interest currently, and I hope this is shared by some others, is Perl 6 (which is in a state of rapid and exciting flux currently) It uses github which makes it easy to help also the Perl 6 people are very open to patches and the bar to entry is low. and here are some suggestions also at https://gist.github.com/stmuk/5b97c66be0acaf189685 * building Rakudo/Moar on exotic platforms (main support currently is Windows, Linux and MacOS X with *BSDs lagging a bit) * writing test coverage for fixed tickets under https://github.com/perl6/roast (very easy) - http://rakudo.org/rt/testneeded (click through XSS false positive if you see one) * porting a Perl 5 module to Perl 6 - a great way to get started since the result is generally cleaner and clearer code (although it is currently slower in most cases) - current modules at http://modules.perl6.org/ * fixing bugs/tests for existing perl6 modules * more complex raduko fixes (or MoarVM even) - although this needs more knowledge of Perl 6 internals * anything else -- 4096R/EA75174B Steve Mynott <steve.myn...@gmail.com>
