Well, I will speak for myself: 1 - Particularly I need to learn a lot about Nixpkgs culture. I really like it, but when the thing is easy as a GNU Hello package, I just use NixOS Monitor to update&test. My biggest contribution was, until now, mpv player and maybe Altcoins (alas, I need to update and search for more of them!).
2 - I am seriously studying to port Mate-Desktop and Trinity Desktop, two huge and confused projects to me. I am doing some hacking here and there, and when they became stable, I will do a huge and serious pull-request! :) 3 - Well, if I can be useful, just talk to me and I will do my best! 2015-01-19 20:11 GMT-02:00 Nikolay Amiantov <[email protected]>: > Doesn't that usually apply to big things that most people skip reviewing > due to contributor's good > standing and "tl;dr" (though it shouldn't be like this, too...
