Just to start this discussion off, PVC is a new project that is a great opportunity for people to ease into writing OSS .NET code.<p>I believe in the .NET OSS community. Its small but growing and we need to bring more people in. I believe in watsi. We're hoping that helping others is a good motivator to get someone to take that first step. For me, that was all that was needed and I've been contributing to open source for 5 years now!
So the gist here is to create a plugin for this new Gulp-inspired build system, PVC, and in return, $50 gets donated to a person in medical need via Watsi.<p>Very cool.<p>I have no idea how to write build system plugins, but it looks simple enough. I have no idea what sort of plugins they're looking for, but I see they have a list of 'help wanteds' here: <a href="https://github.com/pvcbuild/pvc/issues" rel="nofollow">https://github.com/pvcbuild/pvc/issues</a><p>My tech infatuation at the moment is TypeScript, so I'm going to try my hand at a TypeScript plugin now, we'll see how it goes!<p>+1 for encouraging open source contributions while helping people in need.
