Hi Scott (and Magnus)

Good to see that you have plans for LT and I am looking forward to seeing the new versions!

Thank you for your hard work!!!

Hi Scott

I 100% agree with you that Developer Docs are #1 priority, so everyone interested in LT can contribute to make it real open-source project.
Thanks for Light Table and your work

Hi. I'm interested in helping. I'm new to Clojure, but have contributed to open source Java projects on Github. I read the Light Table 2017 roadmap and learned the project has many PRs to review. I don't want to create new PRs if your workload is already too big. Is now a good time to start looking through the issue log for "beginner" items, or should I wait until you have finished reviewing the open PRs?

Regards,

Aaron

Hi Aaron,

Feel free to help out in whatever way you see fit... including opening PRs! Most of the PR backlog is fairly old and needs to be dealt with still, but they are all stalled for various reasons. We have been able to handle the testing and merging of recent PRs relatively well.

Issues labelled 'beginner' are good choices to start with... I will try to find some more appropriate issues for that label. Otherwise, feel free to take a stab at whatever interests you. Even testing open PRs and adding documentation is quite helpful right now.

If you end up having any questions, feel free to reach out! Our Gitter is a good location to pose various questions you may come across. Additionally, if you find any areas where you feel documentation would be particularly helpful then please point them out as well.

Thanks,

Scott

Hi Scott

Are Kodowa's LT plugins like Vim-mode being maintained? There are 2 PRs, one of them is my first PR at all.
Does it make sense to commit there?

Congratulations on opening your first PR ever!

From what I recall, it looked fine and it just needs to be tested out to confirm everything works. I will test it out tonight.

Many of the Kodowa LT plugins are currently in need of maintainers, including the Vim-mode plugin. I'm happy to review PRs for these plugins but I can be a bit forgetful that they exist (not to mention strapped for time)... so feel free to ping me, or anyone else on the LT team, like you did. Usually the PR would be a better place to ping us.

If you or anyone else are interested in maintaining a currently un-maintained plugin, all we ask is that you open a few meaningful pull requests first to show that are you are serious about maintaining the plugin and can effectively work on it.
