Ask HN: OS projects looking for contributors?

5 pointsby blubbi2over 10 years ago
Hey HN!<p>I want to contribute more to Open Source projects, but feel like there are tons of projects that don&#x27;t even want anyone to contribute (e.g. because they still want their name to show up on a &quot;git blame&quot;).<p>So if you have an open source project (preferably JS, but doesn&#x27;t matter, I&#x27;m happy to learn whatever language you use) and you&#x27;re looking for contributors, have a long TODO.md or just have a couple of bugs, dirty code etc. Let me know! I want to help.<p>Thanks, Alex

Check out Quill.org, a free literacy tool that provides writing, grammar, and vocabulary activities to K12 students. We&#x27;re an open source nonprofit, and we currently have 45,000 students using our platform. We&#x27;re primarily looking for help with our Rails projects (<a href="https://github.com/empirical-org/empirical-core/issues" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;github.com&#x2F;empirical-org&#x2F;empirical-core&#x2F;issues</a>)<p>We also have a Wordpress community portal (<a href="http://community.quill.org" rel="nofollow">http:&#x2F;&#x2F;community.quill.org</a>) and an Ember&#x2F;Firebase app (<a href="http://quillwriter.org" rel="nofollow">http:&#x2F;&#x2F;quillwriter.org</a>).<p>Please feel free to reach me at peter@quill.org. I&#x27;m the founder of the project, and we&#x27;d love to have your help.

If you&#x27;re interested in fighting spam, and looking at JS-code, then <a href="https://github.com/skx/blogspam.js" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;github.com&#x2F;skx&#x2F;blogspam.js</a> might be worth a glance.<p>#25 in particular makes my head hurt, and comments are most welcome.
