[zeromq-dev] what is the purpose of the Go binding for czmq?

[Pieter Hintjens]

If you'd like to bring any of these projects into the official
community, see http://zeromq.org/docs:organization.

There are two or three tricks to getting contributors, apart from the
obvious one of "solve problems people actually face, today". One is to
use the C4 process so that anyone who wants to join can do so,
trivially. Two is to write an article about the project and explain
how to use it. Three is to use it yourself in some work.

Cheers
Pieter
