I want to get involved with an open source project, I am familiar with Haskell and enthusiastic about making it more accessible. I've just completed an educational project where I've used iPython with my students and I would have used Haskell if the tooling were a bit smoother.

So far the entry barrier was too high for me but I want to reach out and ask if anyone is willing to hold my hand a little so that I might get over the initial hurdles. Could you suggest some entry points for me? A bug tracker, an IRC channel, a github issues page? Should I just hack on it on my own until I have a specific unit of work to contribute, or is there someone who could use my help with the coding and provide guidance as to the organizational side of things?
