  • Often newbies are shunted off into the boring areas of documentation or testing, they get (as expected) bored, and they leave.

    But one interesting and exciting area you might be able to help with is on Padre's Perl 6 support.

    The Padre community is extremely welcoming to beginners. There's lots of stuff to do in whatever area you are interested in, and we encouraging even the newest of newbies to just get in there and change the code. We prefer forward progress that gets cleaned up later to having people sit

    • What I think is really needed for the Perl 6 support of Padre is someone who will start using it to learn Perl 6 and the technologies around it and start asking for help and dream up ways s/he could get that help from the IDE.

      Then someone can go in an implement that in the IDE or relay the need to the Perl 6, Rakudo or Parrot developers. (e.g. an easy way to index the documentation by adding X<> tags or by adding a library of examples that can be installed along the IDE and used)
