chrxr··on Rust 1.21
Here's a page with lots of good starter issues to work on, and many other issues for more experienced community members.

https://www.rustaceans.org/findwork

Note that this page appears to be displaying open issues, but doesn't specify if someone is actively working on an issue, so it might take a few tries to find one that's up for grabs.

chrxr··on My essential django package list
Great list, and thanks for giving Wagtail a shout-out! Your work on it back in its early days is still very much appreciated.
chrxr··on The UK's National Health Service Picks Wagtail
A great acknowledgment of all the work that's been put in. Well done Wagtail team!
chrxr··on Why People from Manchester Are Mancunians, Not Manchesterians
Similarly, Norwich, Connecticut is pronounced Nor-which locally.
chrxr··on DNS Infrastructure at GitHub
Thanks very much for the reply. Very useful. I think these kinds of details really help people in other organizations who might want to undertake similar projects.
chrxr··on DNS Infrastructure at GitHub
I'm always interested to know how long these infrastructure changes took from project initiation to launch, and whether it was a dedicated project team or something completed alongside BAU tasks.

These details are almost never included in these write-ups. Anyone have any guesses?

chrxr··on Show HN: I made a site to catalogue 10,000 CC0-licensed stock photos
Yes, I had to check as after posting the initial message I remembered seeing a child walking a ferret on a lead in Penryn. I've never seen one wandering the streets of Oxford though...

They don't appear to make it into the top 10 pets of 2014: http://www.pfma.org.uk/pet-population-2014

Perhaps a ferret adoption drive is necessary! http://ferretshelters.org/

I stand corrected: "The ferret (Mustela putorius furo) is the domesticated form of the European polecat" https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ferret

http://finda.photo/image/14847 - Tags are weird. This is not a dog, mouse, canine or feline. It's not sitting. It has 'eyes' but I think that might be irrelevant. Although I would agree that ferrets (not an included tag) are cute, I'm not sure I'd describe them as domestic. Otherwise, great!
chrxr··on Don’t Believe the Hype: Winter Did Not Begin Yesterday
Agreed, I've always thought of Winter as December, January, February. In fact I can't think I've ever had a discussion with anybody who seriously considered 21st as start of Winter, or late June as beginning of Summer. Seems like common sense.
