24 Pull Requests - Giving gifts of code back for Christmas

Eh, pull requests can actually create a lot of work for an OSS project, especially if they are not very good. So make sure the project wants your help, you understand what they want, and opt for quality over the number of pull requests.

We&#x27;re doing 24 Pull requests again this year, last year 881 developers submitted 3210 pull requests to 1521 different open source projects, which was a great success.<p>Comment thread from last year: <a href="https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=4853864" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;news.ycombinator.com&#x2F;item?id=4853864</a>

I think more people might take part if it was less intense. It&#x27;s going to be hard to learn multiple code bases and submit a meaningful pull request every day if you&#x27;re full-time employed. 12 days of Christmas, 12 pull requests!

For easy, and just as meaningful contributions update your favorite projects README file.<p>Many times the README is outdated, confusing, or missing a necessary example. It helps a lot of people when starting out with a project.

I need help with my project<p><a href="https://github.com/brickcap/wrinqle" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;github.com&#x2F;brickcap&#x2F;wrinqle</a><p>The goal of wrinqle is to provide an easy way to facilitate communication between web sockets connected to the same server.<p>I am new to erlang development.I need someone to review my code and help me in writing unit tests for gen_events.<p>Side note: I wish 24pullrequests allowed more than 200 characters :(<p>Any way very nice website. Thanks.

A plea to the site developers: on the &quot;Suggest a Project&quot; page, please expand the whitelist of allowed programming languages in the mandatory &quot;Main language&quot; field. It is currently impossible to suggest any project whose main language is, for example, D, Nimrod, or Rust.<p>I would suggest reusing Github&#x27;s own master list of languages, as displayed in the &quot;Other: Languages&quot; dropdown on <a href="https://github.com/trending" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;github.com&#x2F;trending</a> .

Just signed up. I&#x27;ve only made a couple of very minor contributions to OSS projects before and want to contribute more. This seems like a good place to start and the fact that it&#x27;s actually suggested projects based on my known languages is helpful.
