Why would one not want more developers? I often look at tickets and most of the time I think: Yes, I could fix this. At least I can imagine how it could be fixed. But then, I look into the code/and or the places where i would expect things to happen. And then I do not understand very much. Then, I go back to writing modules and manifests.... It would help me very much if I could have some deeper insights into how puppet internally works. It is difficult to get to that knowledge by looking at code. Especially if the software is split up into many classes/scripts. Like puppet is. Yes, it is well-arranged and structured, but the flow of information between all these parts remains mysterious. I know where to find providers and how those work, but what about the layer below providers and types? Some diagrams and flow-charts would propably help already. I guess this is not very much work for someone who already knows a lot about the internals of puppet.
