Python (or maybe JavaScript / Ruby): open source projects that will give me (a bit)

Question

I wandered around interwebs looking for my first open source project to contribute - and the coolest of them seem to be individual groups on github that I could develop - but couldn't provide an overview of the code, etc. I think I want, so I can improve my python capabilities.

Web.py, flask, celery, twisted, etc. look interesting - so far only the latter seems to be a candidate for something that I could contribute to it, but despite the fact that I am a decent (ish) python programmer, I think that the whole event is possible, the learning curve is too steep for me to be able to make a significant contribution at some time ... so I probably would like to start elsewhere.

Any suggestions?

by the way. yes, there is a duplicate question here: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/117561/what-are-good-open-source-projects-in-python-for-which-i-can-be-a-contributor - but I am two years old, I think it is fair to assume that new things / projects will appear in between.

Thanks!

Answer 1

You could look and see if you find RCTKs that interest you. I try to be as pythonic as possible, it really supports python 3, if you think that interesting and even writing demos are considered very useful.

I (the main developer) currently already has two contributions, whose code I am looking at. This seems to work well.

Looking through the google summer of code suggestions is an opportunity - not all projects were selected by students, and organizations would probably still welcome everyone who would like to work on them. Participating in gsoc is another option, of course!
