Re: [Vala] General Information about this list & Vala

[Ken Gilmer <kgilmer gmail com>]

Hello!  I am in the same boat as Giacomo.  I have found some typos and
confusing language on the Vala wiki and am wondering how I could be able to
update it.  I created an account but find the wiki pages immutable.  For
example, https://wiki.gnome.org/Projects/Vala/ValaForJavaProgrammers seems
to have been written when Java was version 1.6 and some things have
changed, for example lambda support.  How would I go about updating this
page?  Also, I have found a lot of the example code to a bit
underwhelming.  Lastly, I have found the unit-test-driven learning format
to be a very nice way of learning a new language (ex: Kotlin Koans [1]).
Would something like this written for Vala be in-scope for the Gnome Vala
wiki?

Kind regards
ken
