Who's looking for open source contributors? (April 2 edition)

Anybody working on an open source project and looking for contributors? Post here shamelessly!

I think I'll make this a weekly thread.

I've recently just joined github.com/glennflanagan/react-col... as a contributer and as Glenn doesn't have enough time to manage it all. See the issue here: github.com/glennflanagan/react-col...

Pymox ((github.com/ivancrneto/pymox) started as a mirror of the not maintained anymore (github.com/glasser/pymox) and I was playing with it to learn a bit more of Python and testing. Now it's getting bigger and I make it work with Python 2 and 3.

I need some help with improving it and making it more robust, improve its docs (pymox.rtfd.io/). Since it's a pretty nick Python mock lib I want to keep work on it and any help is welcome!

This project is very early on in development, but here goes...

I am trying to create an open API and open frontend social networking website. It has two repos, the backend API which is using the Lumen framework (PHP, built by Laravel) and the frontend is using ReactJS.

You can work on either project based on what you're interested in, or you can work on both if that interests you. I'm hoping to have them worked alongside each other and then just see where it goes from there.

It will basically be the social network that users can have control over. No tracking, no ads and completely open to everyone.

API: github.com/MichaelDBrooks/social-api
Frontend: github.com/MichaelDBrooks/social-app

I'm a core contributor on Excalibur.js, a TypeScript-based 2D game engine. There are 4 members of the core team and we've worked on this for the past 5-6 years now--we build games with it for fun, have a transparent roadmap, and do it on the side in our (increasingly) spare time. We spend a lot of time on code quality, API documentation, and automation to make it easy to contribute.

We've started to get a lot more external contributors in the past year, so if you're interested we have tagged first-timer issues you could jump in on. We welcome any contributions: typos, fixes, and even big enhancements (though talk to us on the issue first!).

Cheers!

I'm building a "micro-learning" LMS called Tigris. I had built a 1.0 that needs documentation, but I haven't had time and motivation to work on it consistently.

It's a Vue.js frontend, but the 1.0 is Clojure and the 2.0 is Python. Originally, I wanted to use it as a way to work with languages I really wanted to work in, but as I want to get more done quickly I went (back) to Django.

I don't have any contributors now, so any type of contribution will help, whether code, documentation, testing, whatever.

I've got a little DigitalOcean library that I've been slowly working on. There's a few services that are as of yet unimplemented, and I love contributions! :) You can check out the Help Welcome Issues if you want to contribute! It's a TypeScript library.

Wiki Education Dashboard is a Rails and React app for helping to organize Wikipedia editing projects (like Edit-a-thons for new users, university class assignments where students improve Wikipedia instead of writing term papers, and other events aimed at helping newcomers get started effectively on Wikipedia).

There's a wide variety of things that we'd love help with. Help with improving our javascript build and shrinking the bundle size would be especially useful; we're stuck trying to move from gulp+webpack to webpack+webpacker.
