disbot4 <simon_sibl> Raku makes me feel like everything is possible, but now I have got no project to do to use it ;-; 04:28

disbot4 <librasteve> well, there’s maybe some ideas here github.com/Raku/raku-most-wanted/b...-wanted.md depends on your interests and skills … 06:41
<librasteve> another wee project I have in mind is to rewrite the “X guide to Raku” … ost of the existing ones need a full rewrite and we could use s Lisp to Raku … this is much easier than back in the day since an LLM can get you a long way 06:44

disbot4 <antononcube> So, you are not ready for Raku... 16:46
<comborico> I will definitely take on LISP to Raku. Sounds fun! 16:48
<librasteve> great - suggest you make a PR on the relevant docs repository (there should be a pen icon link on the page) and tag me to review ... I am no Lisp expert so others who can help please step forward 16:56
<comborico> It says I need to be a collaborator. 17:08
<comborico> I was attempting PR from most-wanted. 17:09

disbot4 <librasteve> @comborico ah - i see. please give me a minute 17:26
<librasteve> ok, i did these steps (i) go to docs.raku.org/language/haskell-to-p6 (since there is no lisp yet), (ii) click the pen icon to github.com/Raku/doc/edit/main/doc/...6.rakudoc, (iii) go up one level to github.com/Raku/doc/tree/main/doc/Language 17:29
<librasteve> ok YOU should do this (i) go to the docs repo top level github.com/Raku/doc (ii) fork it to your GH account, (iii) navigate to main/doc/language, (iv) make a new file called lisp-to-raku.rakudoc (maybe better to cp the haskell one as a starter), (v) learn rakudoc, (vi) write your guide (you may need to do the usual git clone, git commit, git push) and finally (vii) Create a Pull Request (github.com will show a 17:34
big green button to do this when you push your new guide)
<librasteve> if this is the first time you have forked and made a PR on github.com - dont worry this is a standard coder workflow and LLMs can prompt you what to do 17:35
<librasteve> it may sound a lot but afterwards you will be experienced in the modern git ways of contributing to an open source code base (this is how I learned it) and we are here to help if you get stuck 17:36
<comborico> Thanks for the detailed help! 17:47
<comborico> When you say learn rakudoc, do you mean stylistic way the docs are written? 17:53
<librasteve> yep … it’s like markdown for raku docs … very easy 17:58
<comborico> Okay. No problem. Looking forward to it. Thanks for the opportunity! 18:04
