      • Tip:

        Many projects have good small tasks that can teach newcomers how the project works. Now's your chance to share one of them!

        Include URLs if relevant (we'll automatically linkify them).

      • Example:

        Someone could improve the photo upload dialog box so that it lets you resize the photo before sending it to the web.

  • Q: What is a bug or issue with GNU Modula-2 that you've been putting off, neglecting, or just plain avoiding?

    • 0
      I've been putting off documenting shared library creation.

      The shared library I'm using as an example has a bug. Maybe I should choose a tiny library example - or just ignore the bug as it doesn't effect the documentation..

      • Examples:

        I don't know how to get started with internationalizing my app.

        Bug 392 about printing was filed five years ago, and I don't even know if printing still works.

        I want help from a C coder writing a Maildir patch for Alpine.

      • Note:

        If this issue was formally filed on the web, be sure to include the URL.
