How can I start contributing?

Crystal Contrib
1

I’m pretty new to Crystal-lang but thanks to my background in Ruby it was pretty easy to pickup right away. How can I start contributing to the core language and/or standard library? Should I stick with developing shards instead? If so what shards should I develop (any suggestions?). Looking for any tips on becoming a contributor :smile:

Thanks for the link, I’ll see if any of those look like I’m equipped to help with. Another thing I might try to contribute to is the Amber framework. It’s more up my ally as a Rails developer and they look like they need more contributors.

I was also looking for ways to help. Is there an expanded list of tasks people of various skill sets can take on?
