Re: [racket-users] Open source projects

I consider myself pretty community-oriented, but, if I'm trying some new platform, and the recommended practice when I am confused by the documentation is to go file documentation bug reports, then I'm unlikely to follow that advice. I know that posting a bug report is an interruption to any

Hi Hendrix, I hope you don’t mind, but I was so moved by your eloquent plea I quoted it (without attribution) on the page https://github.com/racket/racket/wiki/Contributing-to-Racket Kind regards Stephen PS the github wiki is really easy to use - anyone could contribute - I did it on my phone

Re: [racket-users] Open source projects

One other relatively easy project would be to add sha256 to the openssl library. https://docs.racket-lang.org/openssl/index.html There is a version of sha256 implemented in https://github.com/RayRacine/grommet but it's for Typed Racket only. I know that it's possible to use TR from untyped code,

Re: [racket-users] Open source projects

When you're first learning Racket, wanting to contribute to the community is very admirable, but I think your *first* priority should be to get experience with Racket.  I think this prioritization will tend to make you more useful to everyone, sooner. I suggest getting experience with Racket

Re: [racket-users] Open source projects

The docs are located in the main repository here: https://github.com/racket/racket/tree/master/pkgs/racket-doc/scribblingsIt's not always easy to find the page you're looking for via the source tree, so I recommend using a string search on Github to find the sections of documentation you'd like

Re: [racket-users] Open source projects

It was recommended to me by a friend that while I am still learning Racket perhaps I can contribute to any documentation issues. This sounds like a good idea to me, but I am not sure how I can get started. Any help getting the ball rolling would be greatly appreciated. Thank you, Guthrie

Re: [racket-users] Open source projects

I think the ‘doable exercise for a budding Racket programmer‘ was scoped to be an achievable, but important piece that someone else could use to make a DrRacket plugin.(or more likely change DrRacket core) Kind regards, Stephen On Tue, 24 Oct 2017 at 00:52, Guthrie Price

Re: [racket-users] Open source projects

Thank you all so much for your comments (the resulting discussion was also entertaining and unexpected). If I were to implement path auto-completion, would it be useful if it wasn’t integrated into DrRacket? I am not precisely sure what I would be adding this functionality to if not DrRacket. On

Re: [racket-users] Open source projects

I could be missing something, but I think a filename completion procedure (not the DrRacket integration part) might be a doable exercise for a budding Racket programmer, so long as they already have a basic familiarity with using the filesystem and shell as a normal user. Point them to the

+1. The specific use case for me is super-scripty things like this: (csv->list “~/clements/datasets/poly-dashboards/2178-data-schedule.csv’) … to load a file from disk. One could make the claim that I should choose paths and filenames that I always remember, but in fact, shell-based completion

Do you want drr to open the files? If so, is cmd-shift-O followed by typing an open double quote close enough? Robby On Fri, Oct 20, 2017 at 11:42 AM 'John Clements' via Racket Users < racket-users@googlegroups.com> wrote: > > > On Oct 20, 2017, at 8:06 AM, Vincent St-Amour < >

Re: [racket-users] Open source projects

I think there's value to having a general projects list, beyond the office hours one. The older list was an attempt of that, which failed at that purpose by becoming more of a "brain dump" area, and falling into disrepair. I think that for such a list to succeed, it would need to be actively

I am currently a senior in college. I have done some research in machine learning and computer security, but I wouldn't say I am particularly proficient at either. I have interests in different areas of computing including machine learning, computer security, graphics, and numerical analysis.
