started using Rails and since then I have become more and more a web developer. YaST looks like the perfect choice for my Hackweek: I can do what I do best (coding Ruby) staying away from Rails, CSS, etc.
So, is there something that needs to be done, that fits in one week and that requires some Ruby knowledge and not so much knowledge about YaST internals/legacy?
YaST covers quite a broad area. Maybe first get an idea what specifically interests you and we can find something in there. You can start by browsing the control center on the desktop, or the code at https://github.com/yast/
Package management? Network services? User interface?
Hmm, perhaps the top-voted feature https://features.opensuse.org/120340 "decouple download and installation" could be done mostly in Ruby?
I think it cannot be done purely in ruby, as you need support in libzypp to download and install in parallel. Josef
