Q: I'd like to participate. How do I begin?

  We can use all types of contributors: organizers for study groups for peer learning, participants for these study groups, people to let us know when things don't work like you expected (bug filers), developers that would like to contribute to the code, designers that would like to make things pretty, documenters that would like to help make the help.
  
  More information on development is here: https://github.com/p2pu/lernanta/wiki
  
  But if you would like to do something that's not there, please let us know!

  We can definitely use input on anything that isn't working like you think it should. If you aren't sure if it's a bug or a feature request, file it anyway! We love input! http://p2pu.lighthouseapp.com/projects/71002-lernanta/overview

  Various bugs
  
  When we get a bug that looks like it'd be great for a newcomer (to the project or language), we tag it "possible easy contribution." You can see the current ones here: http://p2pu.lighthouseapp.com/projects/71002-lernanta/tickets/bins/299453

  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).

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

  What makes the situation sub-optimal?
