Hey everyone, I just stumbled across the yi project and think it's a great idea. My ideal editor is something that has the editing capabilities and broad language support of emacs but understands my code to the extent that eclipse et.al. do. i.e. Can give me the refactoring/autocompletion etc. in a painless way. It looks like that's at least the vision of the yi project so I'm pretty excited about it.
I'm a full time software developer but reasonably new to haskell (been reading stuff for the past year or so but haven't done a large project in it) and I would like to help out if I can. I have a couple questions, the most important, can someone point me at an issue in the tracker that would probably be fairly simple to get to know the code? I've been browsing through the yi source base for the past few days to try to get a feel for it but I think it would help to have a simple task to solve. Can I contribute through git or do you only take pull requests through the mercurial repository on google code? I love git and use it both at work and home but I can learn mercurial if need be since they're very similar. Is there any significant documentation for configuration? I've read the stuff on the blog and gone through the key.hs/config.hs etc files but I still can't figure out how to make the apple command key behave as Meta. Lastly, how active is yi development? It seems reasonably active from looking at the git logs but development has dropped off sharply in the last two years. Thanks!
