Anyone have any cool Open Source Projects and looking for contributors?


Just thought it be nice to have a similar "who's hiring" type thread.

https://concise-encoding.org/ is looking for help!

I'm planning to release v1 later this year, and there are still a number of things to finish:

- Finish upgrading the portable testing rig (whereby the tests are defined in CTE format so that they can be run against any implementation).

- Bring the Antlr grammar files up to date and make sure they're as easy as possible to build CTE parsers from.

- Add schema validation support to https://github.com/kstenerud/enctool for Concise Encoding documents (using https://cuelang.org/)

- Critiques on the format itself (passages that are unclear or don't make sense, features that shouldn't be there or need more work, etc)

- Implementations in other languages & platforms (CBE is more important to start because one can always use enctool to convert between CBE and CTE).

My open source project is a puzzle game engine called Free Hero Mesh. I am looking for contributors, of whatever kind of contribution you might like to do; post on the NNTP and/or IRC if you have interested please.

The IRC is #freeheromesh on the Libera IRC; there is also a Matrix bridge (although I have not tested it). The newsgroup name on the NNTP is un2.org.zzo38computer.soft.freeheromesh and the NNTP server is zzo38computer.org. There is also a web page http://zzo38computer.org/freeheromesh/ with some explanations.

I do not use GitHub for my own projects; it is fossil, and is mirrored on Chisel. (In future I might also add a mirror on GitHub too, but currently, it isn't)

Yeah, I've been working on a Reddit/HN clone called Comment Castles [0] for a couple years.

There's new forks just starting up for the beloved Cutefish OS and its "Cutefish DE" desktop environment.

ContainerSSH is always happy to have contributors, but it's a bit of a hard project to get into. :) https//containerssh.io
