Hi @stingrayj!
The current status of things is: I have moved to part time (24 hours per week) at my day job, and am working approximately 2 days a week on Snowdrift. But I’ve been a little behind on email and just noticed this today. Sorry about the delay!
Everyone else is pretty busy with other commitments. So, I appreciate engagement, since I prefer working on a team to working alone ![]()
Weekly team meetings are still running, but sometimes we skip if we don’t have an agenda; this mostly depends on whether I want opinions or help with whatever I’m currently working on. I just updated the post to reflect this.
We aren’t really using IRC any more, but Matrix is still active. Codeberg is also a good place to get my attention (IMO we could stand to use issues more and Matrix less). There was also another new potential volunteer who showed up in Matrix last week, who it might be good to coordinate with. (And you can look at what I said to them in Matrix as an introduction).
The technical area I would most appreciate help with (because I am least looking forward to working on it) is “infrastructure” stuff. Concrete example here, and those types of issue are often tagged on Codeberg with type:chore. I am not sure how many of them are a good fit for an evening or two per week commitment though, unless you already have expertise in that area. The Makefile issue is definitely a good place to start, though!
Also, @chreekat (the team’s experienced Haskeller) has been busier in the last month or so; I’d appreciate code reviews. No Haskell expertise required— I am trying to make the code base more approachable to beginner Haskellers, so “this part is confusing to me” is valuable feedback.
