There is work for more than programmers.

The server follows a strict fidelity rule: player-facing behavior comes from the original C implementation. Historical and editorial work follows the same principle. Find the source, preserve what it says, and document uncertainty.

  1. Test the port

    Compare player-facing behavior with the original C server and add a reproducible case when the two disagree.

  2. Work on the server

    Fix fidelity gaps, improve the oracle harness, or help maintain the Go implementation.

  3. Check the record

    Correct documentation, identify missing sources, or help recover the history of the game and its community.

  4. Improve the field guides

    Clarify help files and contributor documentation without changing what the game says or does.
