I agree with @spip for the problem of documentation because a lot of function aren't comments but for me there is also a problem of useful small libraries. It's normal, Nim is young.
I lost a lot of time to develop some useful utils to extract/compress archive, download files from url, etc. The Hackathon can propose to develop basics libraries to do : * extract and create archive in all formats (see [https://github.com/wummel/patool](https://github.com/wummel/patool)) * very simple file downloader (see [https://bitbucket.org/techtonik/python-wget/](https://bitbucket.org/techtonik/python-wget/)) * a simple REAST Framework (see [http://pistache.io/](http://pistache.io/)) For web developers, a other idea is to fix issues and improve [https://nimble.directory/](https://nimble.directory/).
