Hi Ramya, To start contributing to Django, first I would look at the list of “Easy tickets” which are still unassigned:
https://code.djangoproject.com/query?status=!closed&easy=1&stage=Accepted&desc=1&order=changetime <https://code.djangoproject.com/query?status=!closed&easy=1&stage=Accepted&desc=1&order=changetime> There is just one right now: https://code.djangoproject.com/ticket/30864 <https://code.djangoproject.com/ticket/30864> Then you should try building the Django code base and run the tests, how, is described here: https://github.com/carltongibson/dcus2019sprints <https://github.com/carltongibson/dcus2019sprints> Since this ticket is about documentation, we probably also have to build the code base of the Django website, so https://github.com/django/djangoproject.com <https://github.com/django/djangoproject.com> I’m kind of at the same stage, so if you want to reach out to me directly via email we can go through those steps together. We also should assign the ticket to one of us once we know we start working on it. Best, Antje > On 26.
