- WH (14/14) Jul 06 2021 Hi,
- Guillaume Piolat (10/25) Jul 06 2021 Hello,
- WH (2/13) Jul 06 2021 Thanks, I'll take a look at it.
- Mike Parker (3/18) Jul 06 2021 You could apply for the upcoming Symmetry Autumn of Code:
- WH (3/7) Jul 06 2021 Thanks, I don't know yet if I'm going to have enough time then,
- RazvanN (31/32) Jul 07 2021 Hi WH! Welcome to our community. If you want to get engaged there
- WH (5/38) Jul 07 2021 I think I might start by working on some of the simple issues.
- Adam D Ruppe (12/15) Jul 07 2021 There's a comment in there linking to my code, I actually wrote
- solidstate1991 (10/25) Jul 13 2021 While I managed to find a few people for my game engine project
- WH (5/15) Jul 14 2021 Sounds like a very interesting project, I am available for work
Hi, I'm a Computer Science student who discovered D a couple of years ago and has made a couple of projects in D (for instance: [1]). My summer break is starting soon, so working on open source seems like a good opportunity to earn some experience (and possibly, some money?). I did discover the bug bounty list [2], but I am not by any means a compiler/language runtime expert and these all seem hard projects to work on. Are there any simpler projects for me to start with (e.g. writing documentation/tutorials/examples, fixing bugs, writing test, etc.) and make a bit of money along the way?

If you want to get engaged there are multiple ways: 1. https://github.com/dlang/projects/issues has a list of projects that vary in complexity, however, there are a few that are doable by entry level persons: https://github.com/dlang/projects/issues/84 https://github.com/dlang/projects/issues/81 https://github.com/dlang/projects/issues/80 There might be others, I just skimmed through the first page. 2. https://issues.dlang.org/ is our bug tracker. There are multiple repos where you can contribute but I would suggest starting with documentation bugs (https://issues.dlang.org/buglist.cgi?component=dlang.org&list_id=236695&produ t=D&resolution=---) or with standard library bugs (https://issues.dlang.org/buglist.cgi?component=phobos&list_id=236696&produc =D&resolution=---). Some of them might be more complicated, but I'm sure you'll find easier ones also. Note: there is also the bootcamp keyword which is usually used for simpler bugs (https://issues.dlang.org/buglist.cgi?quicksearch=bootcamp&list_id=236697) 3. We are trying to enforce a specific style in our standard library. For that we use an automated tool (called dscanner) that checks style guidelines, however, some files are excepted due to historical reasons. We are trying to fix them as much as possible and contributions in this area are low hanging, high impact, fruit. To give you some pointers: check this dscanner configuration file [1]. The name of the checks are self explanatory and there are indications in that file. This could be a good contribution start. [1] https://github.com/dlang/phobos/blob/master/.dscanner.ini#L103 These options are not going to bring you any money, but will help you with your github portfolio and will put you in a good position to get funding from SAoC/GSOC etc. in the future. Also, for any questions, you can join our slack channel (dlang.slack.com). Cheers, RazvanN

It also sometimes useful for other Java projects. If you wanna work with it I'm open to helping out. It is a pretty cool approach http://dpldocs.info/experimental-docs/arsd.jni.html my docs there have a small example of how nice it can work. I didn't know that project was there but I wrote me thing in December 2019 so it probably could close it but there's some edges where my thing could probably still use more testing etc.

The editor needs more features to be implemented, like placing objects (selection will work soon), or writing documentation (a comprehensive manual is also being written). https://github.com/ZILtoid1991/pixelperfectengine If you're serious, then I can add you to my discord server.

Are you in the dlang Discord server? (My username there is WH505.)
