Fun thing with openEtG Rust/JS rewrite is that last month I rewrote server from node.js into Rust: serprex/openEtG@e26a92e

Ended up adding 2k lines to project, so not as much a 1:1 rewrite

Oh wow, there doesn't seem to be much free stuff (20 contributors to this issue 😮). @ozkriff feel free to assign a few to me if they end up not being taken by their recommended authors.

@serprex sorry, could you clarify a bit: it's additional info you'd like to be added to the section, right? Would you like to write that section?

ozkriff commented

@ozkriff feel free to assign a few to me if they end up not being taken by their recommended authors.

@AngelOnFira, awesome! Assigning "thermite" and "Textyle" to you than :)

ozkriff commented

Any volunteers for the last free sections: "OpenEtG JS->Rust story" and "polyhedron-ops"?

Lokathor commented 
[Triangle From Scratch](https://rust-tutorials.github.io/triangle-from-scratch/) ([GitHub repo](https://github.com/rust-tutorials/triangle-from-scratch)) is a new tutorial series. So far there's just one article for opening a window using the Win32 API, but more subjects and on more platforms will be added over time. From the author:
> The point isn't that we specifically care about drawing the triangle. That's just a goal that's easy to grasp. The point is that we're doing it with no dependencies as a way to get ourselves to learn about low level OS interaction details as we go. That said, the "no crates" rule is for educational purposes only; please feel free to use crates in normal situations.
