I was hoping to contribute some exercises to the Raku track, but it's marked as community-contributions-paused. Is it ok to open a PR then ask for it to be reopened, or do I just need to wait for the contribution system to be fixed?

👋 Hello! If you found an bug or want to suggest an improvement to either the website or an exercise, then the forum (https://forum.exercism.org) is the best place to post as it allows long-term asynchronous conversations. Please make sure you read https://exercism.org/docs/community/being-a-good-community-member/suggesting-exercise-improvements before posting.

The contribution system doesn't need to be "fixed". It's working exactly as intended 🙂
If you want to make changes to the track, you can discuss it on the forum and see if the track maintainers are currently interested in discussing such changes or not.

Not to make changes exactly, just to contribute practice exercises

This is something you should discuss with maintainers first.
They may or may not be open to this type of contribution.

@velvet sun Tracks were paused from open contributions because an time imbalance between maintainers and contributors which was frustrating to both parties. I think opening a discussion on the forum and giving a ping to @tame anvil (exercism staff) would be a great way to see how you can contribute by adding practice exercises. I’m not even sure there are active maintainers for Raku at the moment, but Erik will be able to easily help you!
