Hello,

I have started a guide, if this can be considered a contribution, i think it is to help the majority of the people who want to learn development and are like faded away when they cannot even get passed the basics. If i take me for example, i have had tough wreckage's on my journey, where one really feels a need to quit, and i wished, someone would have helped me the way, i am now writing this guide. So maybe what you wish for yourself in the past, should you do for others in your present.

You could give Flarum a try? I've been working as a 3rd party extension developer for a little over 2 years now :)

Amazing community, well-rounded developers, and a ton of fun to have with a modern approach to forums!

Website: flarum.org/
GitHub: Composer Project/Core App(pulled in by composer project)

Quick Specs

Front-end: MithrilJS (considering a switch to a different JS framework)
Back-end: PHP (uses various Laravel components but is branching away from a Laravel architectural layout (core dev also created his own JSON-API package for PHP)).

We are always looking for new contributors either contributing to core or to the 3rd party extension development ecosystem :D

This is not my personal project but I always find ways to keep myself involved as it is a beautiful and modern approach to forums (NEEDS LOTS OF <33333333333333)

Hi there!

I'm here to ask help with foda.app a web card game written in JS with jQuery, the code is open source at github.
The game is already available to play and any help would be welcome. Your ideas and feedback are very important to me! Thanks a lot

I',m not plugging a repo - but I AM looking for one. Specifically iOS / Swift 4 / Activity Indicator that is lite/simple with the ability to display an indicator and a short phrase of text (<20 chars).

Reason I'm asking here is that all I can find are bloated, really bloated or far too complex for my needs.

Keep up the good work you clever Open Sourcers!

[Vincent Milum Jr]

Thanks! I'm glad you think so.

For an introduction, they're good, but there is a couple hundred object calls that are still missing at this point. There is a LOT of content to represent, and I'm still trying to find the best way to do so. :)

[Pascal]

Absolutely 🤗

Elixir School is looking for contributions and its a GREAT project for first-time contributors, people who are actively learning Elixir, looking to learn Elixir or Elixir experts!

Elixir School is an open-source Elixir curriculum with lots of open issues for new content across all levels. You can also contribute by providing translations for existing content. You can get involved by:

• Choosing an open issue here
• Opening a new issue describing content you want to see
• Help us translate new and updated content! Visit elixirschool.com/es/report/ (where "es" is the language code), find a lesson that is out of date, check out the English version of the lesson and open a PR to make them match!

Help us grow the Elixir community and make it beginner-friendly and resource-rich

Thanks, Ben!

Hi all, I recently pushed a very large, functional update to my Stratego (a two player imperfect information game) repository. It has an AI that uses a convolutional neural network I trained, and is generally fully playable, if not a bit unpolished:

github.com/YWaller/StrategoProject/

All the graphical components work, but the readme lists the issues and things that need fixing, and how the files are laid out! If you like boardgames and AI, then I'd be glad to have your help. Written in python 3.x.

Hey, I just stumbled over codeshelter if you don't find a new maintainer here maybe it's worth to check it out 🎉

[Fredrik Forsmo]

Yllet is a set of packages for the WordPress API for both React and non-React projects.

What we need help with is creating a Vue package and provide a TypeScript definition file.

Hey!

I got some projects that are open for contribution.
They don't have that much contribution guidelines yet, but I'm going to add some step by step.
For now the easiest way to get in touch would be to try the projects and join the gitter chat for qsv.

qsv

A (currently) CLI app written in JavaScript that allows to execute SQL queries on tabular data like .csv and .tsv files.
I'm considering moving it into a mono repo with q (see below), but I first have to figure out how that works :)

Language

• JavaScript / Node.js

Activities

• Improve tests (Test coverage looks good, but there are still a lot of mutants surving the mutation tests)
• Documentation with jsdoc
• Add wiki pages
• Add new features
• Search and correct some typos in the readme (Good first issue)

q

The SQL parser used in qsv. Based on SAPs chevrotrain.

Language

• JavaScript / Node.js

Activities

• Tests
• Documentation
• Add new features
• Make the queries and their clauses more consistent

cato

A dependency free comparison slider for mostly images, but should be useable for videos and text etc. as well.
There is an article on Hongkiat where you can learn a bit more about it, though it still talks about the old version of cato. You have to scroll down a bit to find it.
This project is not related to the two above but feel free to join the qsv chat aswell :)

Language

• JavaScript

Activities

• Check browser support
• Improve the styling
• Fix the bug that keyboard controls are inverted on vertical sliders
• Investigate and improve the webpack build configuration
• Improve the test suite
• New examples on the github pages, they still use the 3 year old version
