F# compiler, library and tools now open for community contribution

F# is the first MS language to go open source. The F# team is now going further into the Open World to allow community contributions to the core language, library and tool set. This means the F# team will now take pull requests :)

From a recent blog post on the topic:

"Prior to today (April 3, 2014), contributions were not accepted to the core implementation of the F# language. From today, we are enabling the community to contribute to the F# language, library and tools, and to the Visual F# Tools themselves, while maintaining the integrity and unity of the F# language itself.

In more detail: •Contributions can now be made to the core F# compiler, library and tools implementation. •Proposed changes will be rigorously moderated by ourselves and other community contributors from Microsoft Research and the F# community. •The full tests for the F# compiler and library are now available. •In time, the full source code and test suite for the Visual F# Tools will be made available."
