Welcome to Karzilla!
Step one of our plan for making sure everything ![[personal profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/user.png)
afuna was doing gets covered: we're going to be splitting up her role somewhat. Afuna was doing many things, but the two that were in frequent conflict, in terms of demands on her time, was the dichotomy between managing pull requests/reviewing code/encouraging new folks, and working on her own major projects. We'll be splitting those into two separate positions to hopefully minimize some of that tension!
I'm very pleased to announce thatkareila has agreed to take on the first half of that set of duties: she will be our new volunteer developer coordinator. (Which totally needs a more pithy name.) For just about as long as DW has existed, Jen's been doing a ton of mentoring and encouraging. She's been a code committer in the past, and I know she's looking forward to getting back to that, but she's also been damn good at recognizing people who are doing great work. She's also great at lending a helping hand when someone needs one -- and more than that, at recognizing when the hand is necessary.

mark and I are confident she'll be a fabulous fit in the role.
I know she has a ton of great ideas about how we can improve the contributing process for our volunteer devs, and I don't want to steal her thunder for when she gets up and running, but I was so excited that I wanted to share the good news with y'all as soon as we nailed down the details.

articlescommand line tools, so I don't have much in the way of concrete suggestions. A quick Google search reveals several other developers who feel the same pain, though, and one of them linked to an alternative called AppCode. Might be worth a look?
