Hi all, I''m looking to get involved with some IronRuby development. Are there some simple janitorial tasks that I get can my feet with?

Hi Zac, http://wiki.github.com/ironruby/ironruby/contributing has a general list of ideas for contributions. You could browse that for some ideas of which are you want to contribute in. By janitorial tasks, are you saying you are more interested in things like documentation and websites? If so, you will have to coordinate with Jimmy. If you want to help with coding tasks, the first step is to get a clean run of the "irtests" command (see bottom of http://wiki.github.com/ironruby/ironruby/modifying-the-sources).

By janitorial I meant more simple bug fixing as opposed to docs and websites. I''ll look into getting a clean run of irtests. -Zac ________________________________ From: ironruby-core-bounces at rubyforge.org [ironruby-core-bounces at rubyforge.org] on behalf of Shri Borde [Shri.Borde at microsoft.com] Sent: Friday, April 02, 2010 2:00 PM To: ironruby-core at rubyforge.org Subject: Re: [Ironruby-core] helping with IronRuby Hi Zac, http://wiki.github.com/ironruby/ironruby/contributing has a general list of ideas for contributions.

Here is something small you could start with: Kernel#test (http://ruby-doc.org/core/classes/Kernel.html#M005948) has many cases that we don''t implement yet. The implementation of this method is in Merlin\Main\Languages\Ruby\Libraries.LCA_RESTRICTED\Builtins\KernelOps.cs It might be possible to reuse code in IoOps.cs and FileOps.cs ti implement this method. There are some specs for the method in Merlin\External.LCA_RESTRICTED\Languages\IronRuby\mspec\rubyspec\core\kernel\test_specs.rb but not many. Add specs here for each case you implement. You''ll need to figure out what CRuby is doing here as the documentation is not very good. The behavior might be different between Ruby 1.8.6 and Ruby 1.9. For now implement 1.8.6 behavior since we haven''t switched to 1.9 yet and the differences seems to be minimal. If you would be interested in something bigger we can use some help in OpenSSL module.
