It was from [alexmchale][], the +maintainer of [try.redis][tryredis-git]. + +[try.redis][tryredis-git] is, as I know now, a really cool project. It offered +a simple REPL and Step-by-Step-Tutorial similar to +[tryhaskell](http://tryhaskell.org/), [tryruby](http://tryruby.org/) and other +tryX sites. + +It was available on and hopefully will be online again in a few days. + +It went offline a few days ago (maybe longer) and since then several people +asked on IRC (`#redis` on freenode) and twitter when it will be back. + +So today I wrote [a mail to the Redis-DB mailing list][redisml] with the +intention to help, improve and maybe maintain the project. + +I quickly got answers from Alex and [antirez][]. Both are working on the hosting part right now. + +Meanwhile I sat down and quickly fixed [three][bug1] [open][bug2] [bugs][bug3] +and looked through the others, which resulted in 2 more PRs closed (already +applied) and about 4 issues to be closed soon. + +Next step, once open bugs are fixed, is to update the tutorial (some missing +things like [hashes][bug4]) and improve the stability and quality of this project. + +It only took me a few minutes working on this, but it's nice how this little help can make the difference. + +Now it's your turn to get involved in an open-source project. try.redis needs some more help, too. + +[tryredis-git]: https://github.com/alexmchale/try.redis +[redisml]: https://groups.google.com/forum/?fromgroups=#!topic/redis-db/Qu30xvHBhWU +[alexmchale]: https://github.com/alexmchale +[antirez]: https://github.com/antirez + +[bug1]: https://github.com/alexmchale/try.redis/pull/15 +[bug2]: https://github.com/alexmchale/try.redis/pull/16 +[bug3]: https://github.com/alexmchale/try.redis/pull/17 +[bug4]: https://github.com/alexmchale/try.redis/issues/13
