Volunteering

The best way to contribute is to identify for yourself things that you think are broken, or could be improved, and then propose a patch/pull request.

A couple of ways to identify possible candidates:

  • Have you used component, and wished it would do something a little more? or a little different? In open source circles, people often get involved initially by "scratching your own itch" as the saying goes.
  • Have you called up the bug tracker for the related project, and seen any bugs that you can create a patch/pull request for?
  • Have you checked your favorite package's TODO for things that have already been thought about, but just are not done yet?
