  • by reporting bugs
  • by suggesting new features
  • by translating content to a new language
  • by writing or editing documentation
  • by writing specifications
  • by writing code and documentation (no pull request is too small: fix typos, add code comments, clean up inconsistent whitespace)
  • by reviewing pull requests.
  • by closing issues

Submit Great Issues
