Fantastic! We welcome contributors with open arms. :D
Most of our python code started life as some side projects that I was
working on for Hadoop. However, I’m a terrible python coder. (shelldocs was
pretty much my first from scratch python program.) So there’s likely a ton of
work that could be done to clean them up and make them more python-y. (I dread
meeting Kengo Seki in person because they have every right to punch me for my
awful python coding. haha.)
There’s also quite a few issues filed against both shelldocs and
releasedocmaker. A good place to start would probably be going over those and
see if anything interests you. Of course, feel free to file your own JIRAs and
making other suggestions for new features and what not. (For example, it isn’t
filed, but being able to use releasedocmaker to build changes and release docs
from bugzilla or especially github might be an interesting, longer term
project.)
[As a sidenote, quite a few of us are going on vacation over the next
week or so, so don’t be surprised if there is some ‘radio silence’ from the
team.]
