During OSCON, over beers with Chip, I made the observation that there is probably a large group of people that would like to contribute a few hours per work to Parrot development but that there are no TODO tasks that can be done reasonable accomplished at that level of commitment. Chip stated that my he feels my position is incorrect and that there are probably a lot of people that could contribute but are merely unaware of this fact. So I've spent some time digging through the TODO items and, by my estimates, none of the items as defined could be reasonably completed in a few hours (excluding Leo). So what exactly am I proposing? I'd like to add the TODO list to the TODO list. ;) Specifically, all of the TODO items should be decomposed into well defined tasks that could be completed in N hours or less. Where 4 is probably a good value for N.
