[L2Ork-dev] A new guy looking to contribute

[Ivica Bukvic]

Welcome to the community, Joe. I am glad to hear you are enjoying this
project and are willing to contribute. There are plenty of opportunities to
do so and based on your expertise I already have a few ideas in mind.
Jonathan may have some additional ones, as well. Most immediately, we are
trying to port the K-12 module that is available Pd-l2ork 1.0, but has not
yet been ported into 2.x, a.k.a. Purr-Data. Once ported, it would be
wonderful to further expand the library of K-12 objects which are
essentially a collection of abstractions. Once Jonathan shares his ideas
please let us know what you may be most interested to begin with and we'll
take it from there.

Apropos contributing, if there is anybody else on this mailing list who
might be interested in assisting and contributing to the project, please do
not hesitate to contact us. Thank you.

Best,

Ico
