Before you start, I'd like to work out a detailed plan of action, though,
so that we
a) have a good mutual understanding of what you are working on exactly, and
I'll start by poking at Alex's buildserver and see what I think of it, and
then investigating other scripting languages to use instead of Ruby.
A quick investigation of io.js revealed that the only thing really blocking
us from porting it is the awful Gyp-based build system, but that shouldn't
be *too* hard to tweak. JS engines tend to be pretty similar in their OS
requirements, and with JavaScriptCore's JIT humming along nicely in Web+
(after some kernel changes by Ingo and Adrien), I see no reason why V8js
wouldn't work just as well.
b) can better estimate your progress, and to be able to continue your work
in case you cannot complete it.
Yes, I'll be sure to document what I'm doing.
c) be able to write a news article about it.
Also part of the contract work is writing regular blog posts about it, so
that people know what they are donating for.
Yes, I guessed as such from Adrien's contract. :)
I would suggest an IRC meeting, best with Alex, and Oliver, to work out
what we're aiming for, and how we're going about achieving it.
That makes sense. Alex/Oliver: what times work best for you? I'm free
almost anytime from 8AM to 9PM (Eastern USA time). Today works, tomorrow I
have somewhere to go in the evening, Saturday I'm busy in the early
afternoon and evening, Sunday I'm busy until about 5PM but after that works.
