Shameless plug here as well. As someone who works on Corda (distributed ledger platform) I would have to say that.

It is hard to get started contributing, but I'm here to help anyone that is interested.

Outside of that, I wish I had more time to contribute to things like Spring or R2DBC.

Shamelessly plugin personal projects here.

Gwion is meant to become my main tool for (musical) composition, analysis and synthesis. It is already a more powerful (both in performance and syntax) than chuck, the language that inspired it, but it still lacks documentation and some libraries (hopefully those are easy to build, tutorial to come).

The one that I think could interest more people here is Mdr, the markdown runner.
Current version is in haskell, and I found it (haskell) pretty good to work with.

It is a simple markdown preprocessor/markup language, that enables literate programming and running commands while parsing (I wish I could word that in a better way).
I use it to generate documentation for gwion, along with testing and benchmarks.

Any help/advice highly appreciated.
