We’re looking for some contributors that would help us get the Scala tour finished. The Scala tour is the guide that teaches the language to newcomers and explains what Scala is. We find that having this merged would immensely benefit future Scala developers.
Here is the list of the PRs in which we need your help:
These PRs are currently blocked because they didn’t address all the reviewers’ feedback and are outdated (need rebase). You could help us by addressing the feedback, rewording the sections as you see them fit and rebasing.
Thank you guys, it’s exciting to see so many volunteers!
Feel free to open a new PR based on the one you want to follow up (you’ll need to fork it from travissarles’s fork), and we’ll close the existing ones. You’re also welcome to review other people’s contributions, two heads are better than one
If you need any help getting started, please let us know either here or in the PRs!
Make changes in files associated with the a given PR you want to work
upon(making sure others too haven’t picked up same), maintaining earlier
changes made in those files
Push the changes,create PR for review by someone else
There are a number of open PRs at https://github.com/scala/docs.scala-lang/pulls, many of them involving language tour sections, that could use review. If anyone has a few spare minutes, please swing by one or more of these PRs and leave review comments.
(Lightbend & Scala Center folks can hit “merge” once a PR has had at least one more pair of eyes on it besides the author’s…)
some rebase magic might work. I think the correct invocation is git rebase --onto <master that is in sync with the target repo> <branch you branched from> <yourbranch>. Beware that rebase will almost irrevocably lose stuff, and I’m not entirely sure this is the correct invocation, so to be sure you may want to store your changes in a different branch too.
Lots of reviewing happened, a bunch of PRs got merged, including all of Travis’s dangling rewrites. Thanks to everyone who pitched in on this. ️
(A few PRs with further changes to the coverage of implicits are still in flight.)
P.S. There’s always more to do, plenty of open issues at https://github.com/scala/docs.scala-lang/issues. And for the language tour specifically, nearly any section still has room for improvements large or small.
