Hi Brent, hledger is an existing project whose purpose, code and installation process is relatively simple. I'm happy to do a bit of mentoring. If this sounds suitable, I can suggest some easy fixes or enhancements, eg: ...hmm. In fact nothing on my long wishlist[1][2] looks all that quick. They're kind of tricky, or require a fair bit of architectural knowledge, or they are unglamorous and boring. (I'd love to be proven wrong.) shelltestrunner[3] or rss2irc[4] are much smaller projects, but their backlogs are not all that pretty either. If any of these are of interest let me know and I can look harder for suitable jobs. -Simon [1] https://code.google.com/p/hledger/issues/list?can=2&q=&colspec=ID+Type+Status+Summary+Reporter+Opened+Stars&sort=&groupby=&mode=grid&y=Component&x=Status&cells=tiles&nobtn=Update [2] http://hub.darcs.net/simon/hledger/NOTES.org#2140 [3] http://hub.darcs.net/simon/shelltestrunner/browse/NOTES.org [4] http://hub.darcs.net/simon/shelltestrunner/browse/NOTES.org
