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 startGrab the URL to this list of tasks so that others can get to it easily
