Those than can, do. Those that can't teach, write documentation.

I've contributed some documentation to a few projects. Wink
Cheers

I made some changes to a ruby gem over at github. I don't know how to use git though, so I just emailed the owner, I didn't get a reply back, and it wasn't updated, but I guess I did still contribute

I'm not experienced enough yet, but I hope to contribute to something open source in the future.

I have code in Moodle and Basie.

Hopefully it will be a lot more in the years to come.

Moodle? That must be where TDSB got their "TDSBMoodle" website from.

It does look like tdsbmoodle.ca is running a version of Moodle. I am glad to see that some school boards in Ontario are using Open Source Software.

For Moodle i worked on some grade reporting tools that provide statistics relating to students grades as well as plotting the statistics on flash based interactive graphs.

Congrats Dan. I'd still like to build up an OpenCOBOL Moodle course package. But like many good things, vast and overwhelming beginner curve. That, along with knowing that good content will take time to put together ... excuse 1 and 2. Wink

And a comment on the poll analysis; You'll have to assume that few will respond No or Never, cause why bother.?? But I'm still glad to see early positive results.

Cheers

Contributing to an open source project is one of those things I want to do.
