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.
