I maintain a project!

We're looking for projects who can take the time out to help mentor developers as they get started with open source.

What sort of tasks are a good fit?

Tasks should take no longer than a few nights' worth of work
Tasks should stand alone - avoid core functionality on which other tasks depend
Tasks should be well described with pointers to help the implementer

We suggest the label up-for-grabs but using a different name is also acceptable.

If this sounds like you, getting involved is simple:

Label bugs and feature requests that would be a good place to start
Grab the URL to this list of tasks so that others can get to it easily
Sign in to GitHub and check out the README.
