Life has been getting in the way.  Thanks for the

2024-05-03 Thread Richard O'Keefe
What I was really asking was about the very basic mechanics of it.
"Where are the instructions about how to sign up"
meant "do I have to register somewhere and if so where and how?"
"Where are the instructions about what to do"
meant "suppose I have registered and have the latest Pharo open
on my laptop; how do I connect to the repository, how do I submit
a change for review?"  I have been playing with Pharo since version 1
but I've never actually connected to a repository.

I think a "Complete Idiot's Guide to Getting Started with Distributed
Development in Phraro" probably already exists somewhere, I just
don't know where to look for it.

Cool. 
The first thing I suggest is to take the stupidiest issue like adding a comment 
in a method
or fixing a badly written comment and make a PR.
I like to do this trivial things because there are easy to give a positive 
slant on my energy.

For the contributions feel free to pick what you like

- Some easy things are: better comments, improving test coverage
- Now I’m pretty sure that we can get collection improvements
- This one could interest you: underscores in numeric literals
https://github.com/pharo-project/pheps/pull/18/files
We had long design discussions and I think that the result is good but we never 
got the time to implement it.
