If you’re curious about Parrot, please join us. You don’t have to be an expert programmer. If you can follow the build instructions (or report where they fail for you), manage a source code checkout, and work an IRC client, you’re plenty qualified. There are plenty of ways to get involved in almost any capacity you can conceive.
