Ask HN: Anyone have a github repo they'd like someone to contribute to?

10 points·vail130··9 comments

I'm finding it difficult to explore repos on Github for the purpose of finding one to contribute to (yes, I went to the "Explore" page).

JavaScript, CoffeeScript, Python, and Ruby are all fine with me. Does anyone have a repo and a feature that they just haven't gotten around to?

Yes! https://github.com/saltstack/salt While Ohloh[1] says we have had 240 unique contributors over the past 12 months, we are always looking for new ways to use and extend the project. Feel free to hop on #salt on irc.freenode.net and ask questions, ask on the salt-users google group, or just fork the projects and sling us a pull request.

I've been meaning to make a Chrome extension for SelectorGadget (https://github.com/iterationlabs/selectorgadget/) but haven't had time. That might be a fun project for you.

TODO:

- Look into using :nth-of-type(n)

- Fix bug with Reddit.

More details ?
