How can I get involved in Parrot development?

[Andrew Whitworth]

Hi Tadeusz, thanks for the email! We're always excited to get new
users involved with Parrot. What kinds of things are you interested in
doing? We have a list of large project ideas which may be suitable for
a GSoC project on our wiki:

http://trac.parrot.org/parrot/wiki/BigProjectIdeas

This list is pretty incomplete, but maybe you can get an idea about
our current needs (I'm going to try fixing up this list today and
adding some new ideas). GSoC projects might come from this list, or
you might identify another need and propose something that isn't on
the list. We need lots of improvements in various subsystems: GC,
Threads, IO, OO, and lots of other internal things.

We can give you plenty of ideas, and if you tell us what kind of stuff
you are interested in we can help point you in the right directions.

Let us know, we look forward to hearing back from you!
