Re: Suggestion for starting contribution to Django

[Shekhar Gyanwali]

Hi Faraz,

Django Chat podcast episode *Contributing to Django
* helped me a lot, where Carlton
and Will talked about how the journey could be like for the beginners.

Hope that helps.

Cheers
Shekhar

Re: Suggestion for starting contribution to Django

Hi Hasan. 

Welcome. Let’s see if we can get you started. 

Begin with the Contributing Guide: 
https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/3.1/internals/contributing/
You don’t have to read it all to start. 

Checkout the Advice for New Contributors, and then see if you can get 
set-up with the Unit Tests. 
https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/3.1/internals/contributing/new-contributors/
https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/3.1/internals/contributing/writing-code/unit-tests/
Both of those link to a tutorial on writing patches, that’s worth stepping 
through.

More or  less, if you can get the test env setup and run the tests then you 
should be good to go. 

Then there’s finding a ticket. 
Here’s a link to the issue tracker, showing the open tickets for 
contrib.staticfiles. 
You can adjust the “Component” drop down and hit “Update” to see other 
area, and add/remove other filters at will.
We have ≈1100 open accepted tickets, so you should be able to find 
something. 

If you get stuck, or have questions, or anything else, do post back here, 
or on the Forum, where there’s a “Mentoring” channel.
https://forum.djangoproject.com/

Hopefully that should get you going. 

Kind regards, Carlton
