Hi there,
You've been super busy with Try Redis today, and that's awesome.
That's from an email I got a few minutes ago. 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 <http://try.redis-db.com/> 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.
