Now that I have a copy of the code running on my local machine, I was thinking of grabbing an issue to work on. (I can’t promise any commitment level beyond one issue yet.) I’m trying to be thorough reading what docs there are, and I’ve come across the contributing guidelines which says to check out a roadmap (a Trello board) and join a Slack channel before working on anything. The Trello board doesn’t make much sense to me and I’m not sure if either of these instructions are still important to follow, or if I really should just claim an unassigned issue with a ‘good first issue’ or ‘help wanted’ tag.
Ah, that’s out of date. For now, consider this blogpost more authoritative than anything else until I fix some of the older docs (will try to do that soon).
Also, feel free to ask any questions about any of the issues – I’m happy to spend a bunch of time helping people orient around the issues themselves and the codebase in general.

Here are the ‘good first issues’ :

As far as I know, go claim an issue.
