Which existing open source projects would benefit Elixir the most from extra dev effort?

Just for discussion sake, I thought it would be worthwhile to have a discussion to give ideas to community members looking to contribute to open source projects for Elixir. Which projects out there would provide the greatest benefit if they had more contributors?

This is a bit of a weighted question because not every project benefits from just having more people help out and some projects are already getting plenty of attention.

Absolutely Elixir-LS by @JakeBecker. The language server is the backbone of modern tooling for Elixir and there’s still a lot of work to be done here. If there’s going to be strong tooling for Elixir as there is in many other languages, the language server is the place to start.

Makeup (my “port” of pygments, now used by ExDoc) could use some new lexers (I haven’t had much time to work on it now). As of now, ExDoc doesn’t support lexers for languages other than Elixir, but that will change soon, when I implement automatic lexer discovery at app startup time.

Nerves Core Team

I realize it’s a bit of a case of domain specific knowledge, but Nerves Project could use a bit of help with a few things, one easy thing is documentation. I recently followed the getting-started guide as a test, but i have a working memory of the system since its’s inception a number of years ago, so i don’t get tripped up like a new user might.

The other thing i’m most interested in fixing/working on is nerves_network. I’ve been working on it for a long time, i just don’t have much progress to show unfortunately. If anyone is interested in helping with that particular project, pm me, or reach out to us on slack.
