I just realized I didn't answer your second question - where I'd like help?
I'd *love* help, and anywhere someone feels called to work on is great. Some items that are core to most PowerShell scripts that need work: - Flushing out the Parser/Grammar. It's not quite complete, and there are a few shift/reduce errors I could use some help sorting out. It uses Irony, if anyone is familiar with that. - Streaming of objects is not quite right - unwrapping arrays at the right time, wrapping in PSObject, etc. - Type conversion is haphazard and incomplete. Once these things are done, it will be relatively straightforward to flush out the missing cmdlets, one at a time. It will also be time to work on performance. But the above list is, in my opinion, the priority. Anyone is welcome to fork and contribute. As long as your new functionality is supported by passing tests, I'll probably accept your pull requests. -J On Sat, Apr 6, 2013 at 1:04 PM, Jay Bazuzi <[email protected]> wrote: > Pash is not ready for useful work.
