Notes for contributors
Points to consider while choosing any project
1. You meet at least 50 percent of the requirements. The remaining skills can be honed on the go, so don't worry if you lack some.
2. You can relate to the project idea and you have used something related to the project as a user.
3. You are willing more toward learning the skills and less toward boasting about the skills you have already.
Suggested steps after choosing a favorite project
1. Start to use product/tool/API as a user or hello world client application.
2. Setup the development environment for the project and start to use your own build.
3. Look for newcomer bugs and try to get your head around them.
4. Let us know if you feel stuck at any stage.
