I'm in.<p>Some years ago I tried to motivate people to contribute to Perl 6, and found that while many had some lingering interest in doing so, they needed some steering.<p>This was hard for me to do, because usually in Open Source communities, you aren't supposed to tell people what to do; they are free to chose the occupation after all. But I found that it worked very well.<p>So I think the CPAN Pull Request Challenge is a very good approach to steer people to particular projects, without causing too much work for those who steer. At least it's a very good experiment to try.
Count me in! The last time I wrote Perl, the Camel Book was a <i>thing</i> and I thought it was cool to have the least number of digits in your slashdot id as possible.<p>I find it pretty fun to try to modify code that lives in a world that I'm largely not part of, this is a nice little impetus!
I'm in. People around here are sometimes cynical of Perl, but there's a lot of high quality code on CPAN that definitely shouldn't fall by the wayside.
What a fantastic idea. I think this will really speak to those of us that may need a little nudge before feeling comfortable. I've dusted off my PAUSE ID and signed up.<p>Does anyone know of any other langs/communities that have tried something like this? This seems like a great idea to learn and contribute.
Add don't forget to use <a href="http://www.cpantesters.org/" rel="nofollow">http://www.cpantesters.org/</a> so you can see how your test cases run on a variety of platforms.
I am in, nice iniciative.
I've just released <a href="https://metacpan.org/pod/Task::BeLike::FIBO" rel="nofollow">https://metacpan.org/pod/Task::BeLike::FIBO</a> and I'm quite glad of my minimal style.
Perl is for servers like JavaScript for the web, it is obiquitous.
I like other languages too, but, Perl is really fun specially for the community, a great one!
1. Join the challenge
2. Get any module assigned
3. Check the gaps in it's test coverage using <a href="https://metacpan.org/pod/Devel::Cover" rel="nofollow">https://metacpan.org/pod/Devel::Cover</a>
4. MOAR TESTS
5. Profit!
