You know all those #hacktoberfest repos where you can contribute code snippets to learn how to make pull requests. Why not do that with a more long term project called Sample Programs in Every Language. In addition to code snippets, we automate our wiki, and we try to write articles to explain each of the available snippets. If that sounds interesting, check us out!

We're sitting comfortably with 88 stars and 50 forks, so we're still a small project which means you'd have a ton of opportunities to make an impact.

Sure! We have a contributing doc which should cover most of the details, but to summarize:

Pick a language you want to contribute to and check out what's already been contributed. If there's anything missing, feel free to make a pull request with the change. I recommend making an issue for your contribution first so no one beats you to it!

Otherwise, you can always propose new sample programs by making a pull request to the contributing doc with a description of the problem you'd like to solve.

If you're interested in writing, we are in desperate need of authors! :)
