I’m starting a recommender systems framework written in Rust and I’d love to work with people interested in this topic. There are a bunch of fairly easy issues here: https://github.com/z1mvader/quackin/issues that only requre some basic knowledge on recommender systems. The project itself is pretty new and young so I hope that it will be a good space to discuss recommender systems and machine learning topics as well.

From my project to port Haskell’s C parser and Corrode to Rust, I have this [medium] sized task available: https://github.com/tcr/corrode-but-in-rust/issues/65

I’m happy to mentor people through this task. The translation project is entirely in Rust (no Haskell knowledge necessary).

Perceptia is dynamic window manager with support for Wayland. It is young so I guess it is the most exiting time to become a contributor. Here are couple of example issues suitable for new-commers (many more interesting ones wait on github):

Issue: Add more options for setting background

Issue: Generate better name for screenshot file.

Issue: Add configuration for panel

Issue: Add support for libinput

Offscreen mode with VNC or Spice would be nice feature to have. Is someone working in support for these protocols in Rust?
