Welcome to our community. I hope you'll have fun here and learn a
little while you're at it. You might have already read our community
guidelines [1].

I guess you'd like to get your hands dirty on technical work (rather
than documentation, translation, ...). I updated our list of easy bugs
a bit [2]. If you don't have any experience with packaging I recommend
you read our packaging guide [3] and have a look at some of the
packages we've already modified [4] (apt-get source is your friend).

Don't hesitate to ask any questions you may have.
