Need help, where can I start?

[Uladox Null]

Hello,
I would be interested in helping out with the Lisp flavoured Erlang project. I think lisp is really neat and Erlang has an interesting form of concurrency that I would like to learn more about. What would be a good way to start help with the project as a lowly developer from the world of c++ (though I am making a esoteric Lisp based language for fun) who has a basic understanding of Common Lisp?
Thank you,
Uladox

This is a great email, Uladox, thanks for reaching out! You'd identified a hole in our on-boarding support, and I'm excited to get that filled in.

First question: do you know Erlang at all? Have you studied much LFE yet?

If not, Fred's book is a great place to start:

  http://learnyousomeerlang.com/content

Then the LFE Quick Start:

  http://docs.lfe.io/quick-start/1.html

Then the LFE examples in the github repo are a good place to go:

  https://github.com/rvirding/lfe/tree/master/examples

If you do know Erlang and already have some LFE under your belt, a nice way to get some practice is to help improve our presence on Rosetta Code. Here's what we've got so far:

  http://rosettacode.org/wiki/Category:LFE

And here's what we're missing:

  http://rosettacode.org/wiki/Reports:Tasks_not_implemented_in_LFE

There's more, but this is a good place to start... I'll also start working on some on-boarding docs with Robert.

Thanks again!
