clojure has caught my interest. in general, high level programming has.
i played around with clojure a bit and would like to get something done
that has at least some purpose. are there any small/new projects looking
for help?
Not a currently existing project, but one that could fill some very real
needs:
A platform for collaborative, multi-lingual documentation/book-writing.
For example the Ubuntu Manual Project suffers from the barriers for
potential contributors, that are the result from exposing Latex, bzr
version management and being unable to start translation before the
English version for a specific release of Ubuntu has been finished.
The solution I imagine would allow
- collaborative real-time editing comparable to Etherpad, but fulfilling
the logical markup and structuring needs of book projects.
- comparison/editing of 2 language version side by side.
- to define ranges of text independent of paragraph boundaries to map
blocks of meaning between translations.
- Tracking of changes in a way that makes it feasible to update one
translation from another translation in any order they come.
I assume this would be a quite challenging and expandable project that
could benefit from using Clojurescript.
