Hi, I would be interested in getting started with this if possible? not contributed to Rama before but been looking for a way to sneak in!

Hi @Hwatwasthat , glad you finally found something to your liking. We keep issues like these open for the community as opportunities to (a) get you engaged into the framework and our community and (b) a learning opportunity. In return @soundofspace and I are here to mentor and guide you. So in case you are missing details, have questions, remarks, things you wish to discuss. Let us know.

I'll assign it to you in the meanwhile. If you do decide now or later to not want to pursuit it do let us know and we'll un-assign you without an issue. We understand choices can change and life can happen.

[GlenDC]

@Hwatwasthat just checking in, no pressure. How is this going? Any guidance or help needed?

[Hwatwasthat]

Hi Glen,

Sorry I haven't had as much time as I'd hoped for to work on this. I've started in a bit, but not much. Hopefully have some time this week to generate some questions!

[GlenDC]

Cool, no worries. I'll be here for you. At the same time if you in the next weeks realize you no longer wish to resolve this ticket do let me know and I'll respect your choice as well.

Just a few questions at the mo:

• When you say add credits, is that for the array of names to be used (as in, credit Xe for the current list?)
• for the name constant, I added it to the ones listed under non-std conventional, seemed the right place for it.
• For the file in https://github.com/plabayo/rama/tree/main/rama-http-headers/src, what would be the correct folder for that file? common I assume.

Thanks, sorry just want to get it right first time!

is that for the array of names to be used (as in, credit Xe for the current list?)

No that's a code comment to credit the original authors of the list :)

[GlenDC]

for the name constant, I added it to the ones listed under non-std conventional, seemed the right place for it.

Do as you think is right, we can correct in a review if needed

For the file in https://github.com/plabayo/rama/tree/main/rama-http-headers/src, what would be the correct folder for that file? common I assume

Can just be in the root folder for now
