Are you interested in volunteering your time to help the development of Ethereum Classic? Post in the issues section, tell us about yourself and we will try to help you find a place you can help. This is a decentralized project run by volunteers.
I propose we operate our development in a similar fashion to Angel volunteer system found at CCC events. Existing volunteers will do their best to help new volunteers, but there is no strict leadership heirachy. Instead of a chain of command, I propose we operate on a merit system, you are judged only on your code contributions, not your age, race, gender, sex or anything else, just the code you commit. Donations received will be fairly distributed among active volunteers.
If you see anything that needs to be fixed and you are capable, please fix it. Create a local fork, make the change and submit a pull request.
If you want to make fundamental changes to the system please consult with your peers, have them review your code, and make sure we have consensus. If the issue is contentious we can include the wider community so their input heard too.
A wide variety of projects need assistance, and support for languages not yet supported is also appreciated.
Ethereum Classic Clients Our primary activity until we have enough volunteers is to maintain existing clients maintained by the ICO backed Ethereum Foundation with DAO hard fork code removed. Our goal is to keep up with upstream patches for every major client and provide an alternative which does not require the user to use a special flag to run a node on the Ethereum classic network.
As we get more volunteers we can begin to close issues and focus on security oriented updates while we discuss and build a roadmap for future updates to the system.
Blockchain Explorer We would like to maintain an open source blockchain explorer that is capable of verifying contracts with their compiled counterparts. This project is not directly related to the protocol, it does make the protocol more useful. If anyone is interested in assisting existing open source Ethereum block explorers or starting their own please notify us so we can contribute.
Multisig Trust Contract A contract to serve as a trust for development and general enough to be repurposed for needs. This would allow donations to developers to be managed in a transparent way and access can be controlled by active developers who have built trust with the community.
