Hi Axel!
Since you’ve been lurking, you probably noticed it’s been somewhat quiet around here. That hasn’t always been the case, it’s just that thoughtfulness has mostly run its course — we’ve discussed most everything[1] to death and have designs for most things that we’ll need for launch; it’s really just time to build them.
So, I’m super exciting that you’re interested in contributing code. Recently @Adroit also expressed interest in helping with development; it might be helpful to collaborate with him (@Erudition1 on GitLab). I think I want to encourage you to work on whatever is most interesting to you, since that’s probably the easiest/most fun way to get familiar with the code base. But I’ll also mention, this is probably the highest-impact-per-effort issue right now (less haskell, more html/css, though):
I’m also a programmer, although I’ve never gotten in to Haskell[2]. I’m currently focusing on wrapping up my other project so I have fewer things vying for my attention (I am still working on Snowdrift.coop, just not much on the technical side). Still, maybe this is a good jumping-off point to get my feet wet again. Feel free to ping me if you want to try and tackle something together!
I use hcoop.net for my hosting (just in case you’re looking for another wiki you can get lost in).
Big exception: governance still needs a bit of ironing out. Also, don’t let that stop you from bringing posting about other topics. Worst case, we point you to a duplicate discussion; best case, it’s a point we haven’t considered yet! ↩︎
…although I also enjoy functional programming, especially SML, which I used for a few classes in my undergrad. Thing is, I’m absolutely terrible at syntax for languages I’m not working in on a regular basis. Or even when I am; I’ve been doing js for a year now and maybe once per week I still need to pull up the mdn page on arrays to remember what exactly the method names are. ↩︎
