Hi there,
I'm happy to hear that there's one more Gopher that would like to help out the community. This is exciting! Here are some of my ideas around this: - this is where your time is best spent on: https://blog.gopheracademy.com/advent-2016/gobridge-beginners/ imho - or add docs to the stdlib - or help newbies in this Slack, on the forum, on the ML / Reddit - or help maintainers identify easy tasks for beginners so that they can get contributions in - or also write more tutorials for beginners to be included in the Tour of Go - or help simplify some of those lessons, add more content to clarify some of those exercises (edited) - or help on http://exercism.io/languages/go to find if there are any issues that can be addressed with the content there, add more exercises there, review solutions, help people learning Go using it (edited) - or help GoBridge get more material for the courses we have Those are my thoughts on it, hope it helps. Happy holidays!
