To get started you will need to clone the Nim repository and then subsequently bootstrap the compiler, instructions for doing this are located [here](https://github.com/Araq/Nim#compiling). You can then move onto the [tutorial](http://nim-lang.org/tut1.html) and read through the [other documentation](http://nim-lang.org/documentation.html) as well.
We encourage you to join the #nim IRC channel on Freenode to discuss these projects with the community and our mentors. The Nim [Forum](http://forum.nim-lang.org) is also available. Because communication is a big part of open source development you are expected to get in touch with us before making your application, failure to do so will put your application at a great disadvantage.

The following list of projects are just some ideas that the community and the developers have come up with. You will be contributing to a programming language so there is a lot of flexibility when it comes to the projects that you can work on, this list is certainly not comprehensive so we are happy to hear any suggestions that you may have.

#### Implement re2nim, a lexer generator for Nim
#### Implement re2nim, a lexer generator for nimrod
**Description:**
Lexer generators are useful tools for writing all sorts of parsers. Currently Nim lacks a native Lexer generator. This project involves the implementation of a lexer generator. It should be modelled after [re2c](http://re2c.org/) or alternatively it can be based on the wide number of existing lexer generators such as Flex.
