Hi Tejas! Welcome!
The Daffodil library project has marked a number of issues with the "beginner"
label. The list of those can be found here:
https://s.apache.org/daffodil-beginner-issues
I would recommend looking through that list and see if anything interests you.
If you are not sure about a particular issue, need help narrowing it down, or
the thing you want to work on isn't on that list, please don't hesitate to reach
out--we'll be happy to provide guidance.
Also, we have a "Code Contributor Workflow" page that gives recommend steps to
contribute to the Daffodil project (e.g. create a JIRA account, assign your self
tickets, clone the repo, open a pull request, etc.). Those steps are here:
https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/DAFFODIL/Code+Contributor+Workflow
You don't have to follow those, but we've found they work pretty well for this
project and is what we mostly use.

Hi Mentor,
My name is Tejas and I’m a Computer Science student currently learning
cybersecurity, Java, and open-source development.
I would love to start contributing to Apache daffodil. I’m new to ASF, but
I am motivated to learn and begin with beginner-friendly tasks such as
documentation updates, small bug fixes, or test improvements.
Could someone guide me on how to get started and which issues are suitable
for beginners?
Although I am working on a good first issue on github and will soon push a
PR.
Thank you!
Tejas
