Getting to grips with the code is a daunting prospect, even for someone like me who's been coding off and on for over 30 years. For the newcomer, I can well imagine their feeling they couldn't possibly make a useful contribution. Consequently, it is surely essential to highlight right from the start all the many ways that people can contribute beyond coding, and how "start small" is the way everybody gets involved. Perhaps the videos from experienced contributors can emphasise the important role that even small contributions can play in developing and supporting the project. > > Cheers > > Nige
And also organize some type of mentorship programme? I also agree that jumping in may seem daunting to some young coders and contributors. They may need some handholding to help them at the beginning. Having clear workflows also help a lot.
