I'm very interested in contributing to the Rewrite Tor Weather project and would like to know what my next steps should be. While not a student, I think this would be a great way for me to contribute to a project that I believe plays an essential role in society. On a more technical note, I do develop with Python/Django on a daily basis (in addition to a handful of other www-based technologies).
Thanks for your time, Jonathan D. Baker
Jonathan,
Glad that you are interested in working on Weather. Your experience with Django can certainly come in handy.
The wiki-page[1] for the project houses all the information you need to get started. It has links to the repositories and tickets that we are working on.
I beleive that regular tor-weather meetings are being planned. Usually, it happens around Wedenesdays at 17:00/18:00 UTC on #tor-dev.
Cheers!

Right, we tentatively agreed on having the next meeting on May 14 at 17:00 UTC. Guess somebody is going to send mail to this list a few days before that meeting to announce the exact date and time.
All the best, Karsten
Thanks for the welcome. I registered on Trac as jondbaker, but upon authenticating don't see a link/button to edit the overview page and add myself as a contributor.
After reviewing the tickets tagged weather-rewrite, I think #11141 would be a good place to start. Writing unit (and potentially integration?) tests would be a good way to familiarize myself with the Weather codebase.
Cheers, Jonathan

It's at the very bottom.

More tests are always better :) I updated that page today with how we'll be planning to pull changes for the summer (i.e. duration of Google Summer of Code). (tl;dr: via pull-requests to my repo on github)
thanks, meejah
