Hi Reuben,
Sure, it would be an awesome way to raise our visibility -- even if no one
actually picks up a project.
I have a pretty detailed TODO for Lua Zile from which I could cherry pick some
interesting mini-projects. How complex are the proposals supposed to be? I
assume a month or two of inexperienced developer time at the most? And at
least a few weeks...
And if someone wants to pick up something from my Zile TODO, I would of course
be delighted to mentor them in exchange.
Cheers,
Gary
