Awesome! .. The wiki can need every helping hand ..
- Contribute to the wiki (http://wiki.bitshares.org/index.php/BitShares_X_Delegate_How-To) by cleaning/simplifying/elaborating
- I plan to make this a habit for every new aspect I explore.
- I'm good at simplifying and documenting procedures.
It's quite simple:
- Study how the RPC system and various toolkits (https://github.com/bitsuperlab/operation_tools) work
Alternative implementation with updates and a 'balancing' bot:
- Play with market-maker bots (I'm excited to do this)
Yeah! +5%
- Leave all documentation better than I found it and write it if it doesn't exist
Nice intro and glad to have you on board! To add to your "various toolkits", wackou has made a very nice-looking delegate control tools that could do with some more documentation as well as peer review, that could be a good place to start! :)

For your final questions: I got started by simply jumping in. I've been coding and learning as we go, lots of positive feedback kept me motivated.
If you're looking for another project, a full-fledged blockchain parser is something we're missing atm..
Best of luck to you!

Thank you! wackou's work looks excellent, I will definitely be testing it out.
What are the use cases for a full blockchain parser?
Sounds like it's right up my alley. :D
There are open source parsers for Bitcoin, and someone here started working on one for Bitshares but not sure who that was, someone who was documenting the blockchainThat was "drltc" .. afair
Is there an advantage to writing these tools in Python and not, say, Ruby?Yes .. I don't speak ruby :P

So where are the spots where devs talk? There is a skype channel but it isn't that optimal as most of the devs are too busy to answer the more basic questions. (Well, I'm saying that I wouldn't ask basic questions, not that they refuse to answer them. All the devs I met in Vegas seemed like great guys.)
So I'd like to see a sub-community somewhere where the conversation is strictly at the developer level without extraneous noise.
IRC channels are ok, but they end up being lurkfests.
Welcome!
Nice introduction!
Good Luck and Have Fun!

Maybe we need a Developers board under Technical Support?
Great intro Roadkill.
I support you. I think you will make really solid contributions!
Cheers!
Yes. THis would be the easiest. Or we split off somewhere else that is less noisy. I don't really care, but it would be interesting to have a place where devs can discuss their issues with the toolkit. Keeping it here is probably the best as the actual devs are more likely to read it here.
Roadkill is an individual I support based on conversations had outside this forum. Roadkill is contributing to this community in meaningful ways and will benefit the delegate ranks as a code reviewer, active community participant and ultimately feel will make development contributions based on his qualifications and drive.
Cheers man, you've got my vote!
Welcome!
