      A good starting place is http://developer.joomla.org or just join in on the mailng lists or just fork the code at github.

      Explaining the code style rules in English and then translating that explanation to other languages.

      We have a great set up for checking the code style rules but it's all in xml and code https://github.com/joomla/joomla-platform/tree/staging/build/phpcs/Joomla ... we need someone to write each rule in a sentence or two that is easy to share with a contributor who has gotten a code style error message.

      • Tip:

        Discuss documentation, testing, webmastering, and/or publicity.

        Include URLs if relevant (we'll automatically linkify them).

      • Example:

        We need people to download version 0.4.5 and make sure the frobulator still frobulates correctly.

  • Q: What's a good bug for a newcomer to tackle?

    • [X]

      • Tip:

        Many projects have good small tasks that can teach newcomers how the project works. Now's your chance to share one of them!

        Include URLs if relevant (we'll automatically linkify them).

      • Example:

        Someone could improve the photo upload dialog box so that it lets you resize the photo before sending it to the web.

  • Q: What is a bug or issue with Joomla! Platform that you've been putting off, neglecting, or just plain avoiding?

      • Examples:

        I don't know how to get started with internationalizing my app.

        Bug 392 about printing was filed five years ago, and I don't even know if printing still works.

        I want help from a C coder writing a Maildir patch for Alpine.
