Topic and project suggestions for ScalaxHack 2016.

We'll arrange a schedule on the day based on what peoples' interests. We'll aim to have a mix of hacking and short talks/workshops. This is a collection of ideas and proposals.

Have a project you'd like to bring to the hack day? Send us a PR to list it here! Here's an example:

• Example Person, Example Library

  http://github.com/example-person/example-library

  Include a quick description of the library and what you'd like to work on at the hack day. Please keep descriptions short. Feel free to link to extra information. We suggest including a link to your issue tracker and highlighting simple issues for newcomers.

• Miles Sabin, Typelevel Scala Compiler

  http://github.com/typelevel/scala

  Compiler hacking is fun and not as scary as you might think. In this session we'll fork, clone, build, tweak, and use the Typelevel Scala compiler as an introduction to compiler hacking.

• Eugene Burmako, Scala.Meta and Macro Paradise

  Hackathon on scala.meta and new-style macros. We'll have a bunch of approachable issues for newcomers.

  Do you use ENSIME and want to improve it, or need a feature before you can move from IntelliJ? Please come along!

  The Contributing Guide is a good place to start if you're a newcomer.

• Shimi Bandiel, Comonads Notation for Dotty

  I've prartially prototyped a co-monads comprehension (cofor) in Dotty.

  Come and help discuss, design and implement a convenient and helpful syntax for co-monads.
