Excellent. Please feel free to suggest us to your professor and other
students as a potential real-world project to hack on.

I wouldn't say we have clear priority for front-end versus back-end.
There's a lot to do in all sorts of places. I'm working on better docs
for how to get involved specifically, see
https://git.gnu.io/snowdrift/snowdrift/merge_requests/77 — I could even
potentially use help from you or others here on the list for how to best
continue organizing the right place for these docs, i.e. in the right
files or on the wiki.

Overall, you'll learn more about all the elements as you explore the
code, and you can look through the tickets and the site discussion
boards to get a sense of where things are at. I wish we had everything
so organized that it was really easy to pick just the right thing for
each developer, but we do need to ask for a bit of initiative from
everyone to work on making sense of everything at this point.

I and others are always happy to answer *any* questions.
