Hi Julia, Nice to meet you!
Fixing Scrapy bugs is a good way to get started with Scrapy internals; also, we were told a prior contribution is a requirement (see https://wiki.python.org/moin/SummerOfCode/ApplicationTemplate2014). I like per-spider settings and API cleanup projects a lot - they are not as shiny as other projects, but they can make working with Scrapy easier. For example, per-spider settings may allow project-less spiders in future and enable Scrapy as a library, not as a framework - I think it is a noble goal. It is better to discuss new features in a github issue or pull request. The discussion previously happened in scrapy-developers google group, but over past year it shifted to github - we tend to use "question" tag for issues that needs discussion. Some easy bugs are tagged as "easy" in our issue tracker: https://github.com/scrapy/scrapy/issues?labels=easy&page=1&state=open. среда, 12 марта 2014 г., 19:47:18 UTC+6 пользователь Julia Medina написал: > > Hi!
