I want to start contributing

[burnedfaceless]

I was a hobbyist but I've been coding full time for about a year. I don't think my PHP skills are to the level where I can contribute yet, but a professor recommended I make small contributions like typos.

I am passionate about free and open source software.

Are there any contributions I can make while I am learning?

Hi burnedfaceless,
log into https://tracker.phpbb.com/ and search for any issue that is opened. There are many small issues present. In order to contribute, you will have to master git basics and follow some guidelines:
http://area51.phpbb.com/docs/32x/coding-guidelines.html
https://area51.phpbb.com/docs/dev/maste ... t/git.html
We will be looking forward to your first PR!

You can also suggest fixes or improvements to things that you find or have seen as well.

Maybe take a stab at trying to convert one of our template files over to twig. This is a really fairly easy way to get familiar with the software and how it works with very little overhead.

I have little knowledge about PHP and C++. Both of them are based on coding. Take much more time to learn.

Hi Senky,

What is the process of submitting template events? I mean if they are documented and completed by a team of developers (what I mean is author preferences, etc.)?

Thank you,
Renee

ReneeDegutis,
template events are very easy in fact. Create a new issue in the tracker (it is a necessary evil). Then send a pull request from properly named branch which includes changes in two files:

• original file you want to add event to
• /docs/events.md - this file contains a list of all events, so it must be added here as well

Push your branch, make sure your commit follows guidelines and then just wait for some dev to merge your PR.
