Coding projects

The following are some ideas for potential projects to submit to coding programs such as Google Summer of Code or Google Code-in. See also the list of projects for the Season of Docs program.

Implement multi-language support for the node client

• Summary: The node client does not have the ability to show pages from different languages. We already have the translated pages in our repo. The client just needs to consume the language info and show the correct page. Please see https://github.com/tldr-pages/tldr/blob/master/CLIENT-SPECIFICATION.md#language for more info on how to consume this information.
• Required skills: Node.js, JavaScript
• Difficulty: easy
• Potential mentors: @agnivade

Convert the linter from lex/yacc to a more popular language

• Summary: Convert our current unmaintainable linter into something that's more maintainable and understood by more people. It is suggested that this npm package be investigated as a starting point, but using JavaScript is not required.
• Required skills: knowledge of lexing/parsing (very useful)
• Difficulty: challenging
• Potential mentors: @sbrl
