Hi! Hopefully this is a good place to ask this. 🙂
What are some great projects to contribute to that have amazing communities surrounding them?
I started contributing to polars because it seems like a really interesting project. Most other projects I’m interested in contributing to are over in the Python world, so I want to try to find some engaging communities in the rust ecosystem. 🦀
Idk if this is working against me, but I like to find newer projects that need the help.

What sort of skills do you have (or: which direction would you like to move in)?
Also are there any crates that you use and like?

Oh i thought you were interested :/
south canyon
this isn't the real oss contrib channel is it

No 😦

My background is in Python. Looking to do more rust. I’m from data. I also love dev tooling. Always really enjoyed cargo. In terms of crates, I’m trying to break into rust. So I don’t really have a mature list.

I also love dev tooling
something that is relatively approachable is to contribute to clippy, rust's linter

Oh that’s a good idea

There are also "data" projects in rust that are similar to (or at least trying to be) polars and such, but I don't have experience with any

Yea I’ve found a few that are rust bindings for stuff like c++ libraries and whatnot. But I’m interested in rust-first communities.

You haven't mentioned any experience, but I assume you're competent in writing rust?
proper solstice
I wouldn’t say fully competent writing it yet, but I’m getting there.

writing documentation examples for crates is a good way to a) get more familiar with writing rust b) getting to understand a code base, and c) greatly appreciated. if you don't feel ready, that is a great way to contribute

Yea what I’ve been doing with polars is helping with the Python wrapper and documentation. I’ll dip into the rust library to implement core features at times. That seems to be working well.
Getting involved with clippy sounds fun tbh.

I'm pretty new to rust so I'm game for basically anything honestly, I just want somewhere reasonably straightforward I can look at some issues for and tinker a bit to get some more practice.
(ie: probably not looking for overly cursed shit just yet 😂 )

I normally try to fix the issues I come across when doing open source. It's a great way to get in. Report an issue, then an hour layer submit a PR 😅

checkout Soviet Linux, it's open source of course

I've started using helix (text editor) and it's still in relatively early days (only about 2 years old, still lots of new features to do), so they'd probably welcome new contributors
