Worth keeping in mind that I'm not a programmer, I cannot write code yet but I can understand some of it when I read it and how it's structured. I've wanted to learn for a long time, so this could potentially be a way to start learning if I ever have time.

I am a programmer but I wouldn't trust myself I could invest enough time and knowledge into such a project. This is basically the announcement of someone making a fork. People make thousand forks a day, it is important what comes out it. Making a fork and saying maybe I will work on this project in the future after I learned how to code is not worthy of being news in my opinion.

On one hand, lol
On the other hand if they do have time that's a nice way to learn programming

Absolutely, and I would encourage them to do so! But that's just not news interesting for a broader public lol
