Would like to start contributing

Hi,

I have just signed the electronic documents to contribute to IronRuby.
What are the next steps for me to actually start having fun and writing
some
code, submitting patches etc?
Where can I find out what tasks are available, what needs to be done
etc?

RubyForge project page has a link to the bug tracker. (And the patch
tracker.)
http://rubyforge.org/projects/ironruby

In my opinion, the project is more in need of quality bug reports than
actual codes, but you are free to choose the area you want to
contribute in.

A good place would be to try running the RubySpec tests and dig through
what
you find.

You can also take a look at the wiki
(http://ironruby.rubyforge.org/wiki/wiki.pl). There are pages where you
can
sign up to take on a library module.

A good way to run those tests is to run rake mspec [class] [method] run.
That run parameter tells mspec to run all tests, even if they have been
excluded. Later this week I’ll be adding a ruby task to rake, that works
like: rake ruby mspec [class] [method] [runner]. That will run the same
thing as rake mspec [class] [method] [runner], but it will run it under
CRuby instead of IR. Feel free to create bugs as you find them, or to
make a patch and fix them. All code goes through code review, so if you
do something wrong, we’ll help you.

Thanks for your interest!
