It is October. And the "Hacktoberfest" is happening. It is a worldwide Open Source community happening to do some code improvements on GitHub and GitLab.
Some developers are on the race to win 1 of the 40,000 t-shirts. Some "just" like the idea to support the Open Source community.
(see: https://hacktoberfest.com/participation/)
The Hacktober website recommends some lists of projects with good-to-start issues
I added FreshRSS via PRs:
Last year (2021) we had some useful code contributions and right now the first useful PRs for this year are in our inbox.
Let's collect here some notices/ideas to have a little knowledge base for next year:
- i18n issues are very easy to do for new developers. We use here the power of the worldwide event. I think it works very well
- It is very important to explain the tasks (f.e. see: #4662)
