New to the Community, Looking for Advice on Contributing Effectively #24420
-
|
Hi everyone, I'm fairly new to this community and really excited to contribute to the framework. I've already started by trying to resolve some bug tickets. Occasionally, I can see potential solutions, but I'm concerned that some of my approaches might get rejected. On the other hand, there are also more complex bugs that I find challenging, and I'm not even sure where to begin. Does anyone have advice on how I can make the most impactful contributions? Are there specific types of issues or areas where a beginner can be particularly helpful, or any tips on how to approach more difficult problems? I appreciate any guidance you can offer! |

Good question.
Being fearful is not a good attitude. Just post a PR and possibly describe weak points. That's it. If it works, great. If not, you'll learn something new and slowly grow your skills. I've been learning the same way. Sometimes I got it right, sometimes I got it wrong. The important part is: You spend your time to improve something. That's what counts in my mind. You can ping me on Discord if you want some help with contributing.
There are some issues marked with the good first issue label: https://github.com/dotnet/maui/issues?q=is%3Aopen+is%3Aissue+label%3A%22good+first+issue%22 Not sure about tips. Hard issues are hard. So it's often good to discuss them upfront to avoid wasting your time. |
