Is there a description of skills and hardware needed to be useful.
I've been a computer _user_ for decades but have very minimal programming
background.
For compiling x64 Linux Windows or macOS at least 8 GB memory and a fast 4
to 8 core i5 or higher. Mostly javascript, css, xhtml, xul and xbl and only
some c++. Skill whatever you think is useful even if it is only enhancing
the help files or changing the website.
I run only Debian Linux and have not done any programming since days of 8085
assembler and dBaseII. At the moment proofreading Help system for
errors/omissions would be a starting point. I've never worked in a volunteer
project environment.
Doing patches to enhance help won't probably make you rich and famous but I
usually recoomend this for starter to become familiar with the whole process.
The sources are in mercurial. The requirements for Tb are mostly identical to
SeaMonkey:

comm-central is broken but for help patches doesn't matter. Can be easily
transplated to the working branches.
