I’m +1 on a “contribution” category, and am willing to try to do one for MirageOS. There is also the OCaml Labs compiler hacking event thread where a list of things to work on for that have been posted.
I’ll create this Contribution category as as a sub-category of Community for the moment, as it’s pretty much about making easy entry points for newcomers. Any suggestions for the name of the category? “Contributions” might be made a little clearer – we use the term “junior jobs” in OCaml mantis, and “pioneer projects” in MirageOS. None of these leap out as good category names to me…
