Working for Haiku is quite the dream job, I’m happy to be given this opportunity!

I imagine the community has all sorts of ideas for what I should work on now that I have a larger chunk of time and attention to devote to it. Hopefully I will not disappoint!

Really excited to see waddlesplash dedicated working on Haiku!! Haiku, Inc. has been saving up your valuable donation funds for a long time to be able to do this.

As a side note, while Haiku, Inc. is monitoring waddlesplash’s work and tasks, the developers and community will be driving his pool of overall project priorities through Haiku, Inc. There’s a lot of room here for waddlesplash to work on what he enjoys, and also work on the “hard stuff” simultaneously.

A new “Hard Tasks” page was added to trac here: https://dev.haiku-os.org/wiki/HardTasks I think this is a good pool of “big tasks” for waddlesplash to think about. Most of the stuff on that page echos what the community has been suggesting over the last few years.

Welcome aboard waddlesplash!
