Ask erewok to review Opaleye, when we have better docs and onboarding #422

Open tomjaguarpaw opened 5 years ago

tomjaguarpaw commented 5 years ago

erewok on Reddit kindly offered to review Opaleye when we have better docs and onboarding. This is still a long way off but worth keeping in mind. It was also a long time ago so the offer may not still hold!

I've not been following Opaleye for some time, but do we have better on-boarding already, or are we still planning? I have a bunch of tutorials and support libraries that I wouldn't mind contributing if we know the direction we want to take.

tomjaguarpaw commented 5 years ago

I haven't got much time to spend on this but I'm happy to discuss potential directions with you. The new type family stuff is nice and will resolve a lot of the complaints that people have. I also want to do the big rename.

What is "the new type family stuff"?

saurabhnanda commented 5 years ago

I presume something similar to what rel8 or beam do to define records.
