Here’s a few issues you could take a stab at https://github.com/crystal-lang/crystal/issues?q=is%3Aissue+is%3Aopen+label%3Acommunity%3Anewcomer

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.

There is also https://github.com/crystal-community/crystal-libraries-needed that might be helpful

We label issues in Crystal’s issue tracker, a few interesting labels are: community:newcomer community:to-document community:shard-idea community:help-wanted community:to-research community:to-design pr:needs-work

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