Subject: [Unison-hackers] Unison: Help wanted
Message-ID: <50B6568D-F91F-46BD-8F47-C271B8198FA7@cis.upenn.edu>
Dear unison hackers community,
First, I want to let you know that we?ve just made a new beta-release of Unison ? the first in a while ? with many (mostly small) improvements since 2.48. You can find a tar file in the usual place , or you can clone it directly from github . It will be promoted to stable in a month or so.
Second, I could use your help keeping Unison healthy! Although we?re not currently adding much new functionality, the github site still gets a steady stream of questions, bug reports, and pull requests. At the same time, I have been busier than usual the past couple of years with a new baby in the house, and even with several others putting in a lot of energy (Alan Schmitt especially) it has been hard to react to this input in a timely way. It would be great to have a larger community taking care of Unison!
If you have a little time to devote to this, I encourage you to ?Watch? the unison repo on github and start contributing to discussions of issues and pull requests there. Folks with some OCaml background are particularly welcome, but many of the questions that come up do not require particular OCaml expertise.
If you?re pretty familiar with Unison and want to help in a more serious way, there are a number of issues marked ?help wanted? in the repo. Also, I would love to have a couple more people to triage and classify issues as they come in, track discussions about them, and reclassify or close them when the conversation converges. Let me know if you think you?d be a good person to help with this (I?ll need to give you write access to the repo).
Yours in synchronicity,
- Benjamin
