[Sugar-devel] Helping people to get started

[Sam Parkinson]

Ignacio and I have started working on a new irc bot. You can check it out
here: https://github.com/ignaciouy/sugar-irc/
We also have a top ten tickets list (which is kind of random) here:
https://github.com/ignaciouy/sugar-irc/wiki/Top-Ten-Tickets-This-Week

Hopefully this helps someone
