I haven't participated in an open source project before and I don't
want to waste other people's and my own time doing something of low
value.
I'm not Laurent, but I do have a list of such things:
1. Volunteers to help maintain the web site and handle "PR" when the
project's primary developers are busy doing other things (like hacking
on code). Sometimes that might involve collating/reporting on MacRuby-
related developments in the MacRuby blog, since what's a blog without
regular entries, and other times that might involving sending folks
like Laurent and/or Rich messages on a semi-regular basis, encouraging
them to provide a quick list of status bullets which the volunteers
can then format and edit appropriately for the web site, again sparing
the primary developers some of the admin work (and serving as their
alarm clock to provide information to the masses :).
2. Writing tutorials / sample code for MacRuby, since anyone who's new
to the project needs a place to start.
3. Writing RSpecs for MacRuby.
4. Reporting bugs, writing docs, providing words of encouragement,
etc. :)
