The Sandstorm wiki is now world-writable, and I made a new page to help people get involved.
I realized the wiki should be world-writable when phildini remarked on IRC that the porting guide could give better advice for Mac OS users. What I really wanted to do was ask him to update the page himself, but I discovered I would first need to grant him access. So I made it writable by anyone logged into GitHub, and I configured a script to email a mailing list whenever it gets changed. Within forty-eight hours, I saw a new person contribute to the wiki!
The wiki is one of the things I mention on the new Get Involved page. In writing it, I took a lot of inspiration from Meteor’s – it’s a particularly great one. My goals are to showcase all the ways to contribute to Sandstorm across diverse skill sets and to have a contextualized listing of all the places that project members communicate. I’m excited to watch the community build great things on Sandstorm, and extraordinarily grateful to people who share the platform with friends. I think the most important thing Sandstorm needs right now is more people knowing about the project.
So please give it a read and get involved!
