Hi All, Do we have committers here willing to scope up project ideas and mentor during the upcoming Outreachy Session?
This could be a chance to get some tasks completed especially around Fineract 1.x. I see immediately that our backlog is too large..Maybe we could have an intern or 2 try to close some of those issues if they are not too complex. What do you think? Thanks.
