<j​oseph-redmond:matrix.org> Hi, I’m looking for the best way to start contributing to this project.

<j​oseph-redmond:matrix.org> I’m newer to open source contributing specifically and don’t want to step on anyone’s toes regarding their work.

<o​frnxmr:xmr.mx> > <m​oneromooo> I usually suggest to start using monero yourself, get familiar with the tool. Then find something that irks you. Maybe a small bug, or small improvement, and fix it. It'll give you a concrete goal, and will get you familiarized with what's where, etc, while not being too overwhelming.

<o​frnxmr:xmr.mx> Fixing issues from the github tracker, and reviewing PRs that are tagged as "pending review", is always helpful

<r​brunner7:monero.social> And well, I would say don't worry too much about the "stepping on anyone's toes" part :) If you give a quick note before you start to work on something bigger here, you are probably already mostly safe. If you tackle a smaller issue and somebody happens to do the same, I don't think any lasting "damage" will result
