Curating contribution ideas and organizing hacking sessions

Lwt has:

  • An easy issues label, already taken advantage of by several new contributors, some of whom have gone on to harder issues, and others to other places in OCaml. We hope to keep adding to this, and one way to contribute is to open issues. Some will be easy :slight_smile:
  • A project list wiki, including cool, open-ended projects such as a uniform I/O API for Unix, Windows, and Node.js, to run on both Reason and OCaml. We should probably expand the projects with details and discussion. Those interested are welcome to come discuss the projects with us, plan them alone or with us, edit the wiki, etc.
  • An introduction to contributing in the README.
  • The beginnings of code contribution overview in CONTRIBUTING.MD.
  • A bunch of ways to contact us.

We’re pretty committed to making Lwt friendly to contributors, including Lwt beginners and OCaml beginners. If you want to test out new ways to help and work with contributors, we’d love to help test them in Lwt.

EDIT: feel like I should link the Lwt community friendliness “manifesto” here :slight_smile:
