How can I begin contributing?
Posted: Thu Apr 29, 2021 6:10 pm
Hello,
I've been using qBittorrent for some time now and I'm interested in contributing to the project; however, I have never contributed to a large open source project before. For background, I'm experienced with C++, Java, and Python (I think).
I skimmed through the issues in the github repo but they all look really complicated. How do I understand the individual components of the project? Are there any simple tasks that need to be worked on but hasn't? Also, are newbies generally welcome to contribute or does the team only really look for highly experienced developers? Finally, is there an IRC/Discord/Slack that you use or is communication mainly done on this forum?
Thanks
