Angular 2 Beta released

Re:Angular 2 Beta released by estsauver on Tuesday December 15, 2015 @03:33PM (#10740271)

I had a really painful time trying to contribute to the angular 2 project. I get the impression that the developers actively working on this are working with discussion mostly internal to Google.

It's a shame, because it does seem like both a very powerful and nice approach to building SPAs that I would love to contribute to.

@estsauver while I agree that it takes some time to get into contributing into a big project like Angular 2, it is simply not true that it is "Google only" project. I'm a regular contributor (#6 in terms of no of commits: https://github.com/angular/angular/graphs/contributors) and I don't work for Google.

Angular team is bunch of great people, real pleasure to work with. I can tell you - the initial effort to start contributing pays off _very_ fast.

The only person that actually ever replied to me on Gitter was Raganwald.

Maybe I just had an experience of trying to get help at a series of slow times, but it was really hard to get help with the build setup.

Welcome to chat, https://gitter.im/angular/angular, we often talk here with ng-team members and developers who use ng2 for their projects (like me).

Curious: could you describe why it was difficult to contribute?

Can't you just fork the project and work on your own from there?
