Node: Advice for someone looking to contribute

[nadrane]

Hi,

I'm a long time Nodejs user and love to start contributing. I'm looking to help with Javascript APIs specifically, since my C++ is quite rusty. Where are some good places to start? What does the community need help with?

everything you should need to get started is in https://github.com/nodejs/node/blob/master/CONTRIBUTING.md, and don't hesitate to ask questions either here or on irc (#Node.js)

[nadrane]

Are there any issues you'd recommend I tack a look at?

Hi @nadrane ! Thanks for your passion to contribute to Node.js !
You can refer to http://nodetodo.org/ to see how to start your contribution.

@devsnek @nadrane The IRC channel we use for core dev is #node-dev, #Node.js is for general questions on Node.js.

You can take a look at the issues labeled with "good first issue", although at the moment I think most of them are being worked on but there will be new ones. https://github.com/nodejs/node/issues?q=is%3Aopen+is%3Aissue+label%3A%22good+first+issue%22

Node core is something like 55% JavaScript so, that shouldn't be any issue. :)

Thank you all for the advice. I reached out on nodetodo.org and am looking forward to being assigned my first issue :)

I think this can be closed now. Reopen if I'm wrong.
