Hi, Thanks Rakesh for the information.
I have already went through the specified wiki page. I think it is better if I start with fixing test cases. In the mean time I will go through those pull requests. One small question, when I looking at JIRA, I see that some tickets are in open state but they are already assigned to someone. I like to know whether I could fix that kind of ticket and submit a patch? I am new to open source contribution.
