[Adium-devl] Beginner looking to make a contribution

[Jordan S.]

Ankur,
These aren't necessarily starter bugs, but you can always take a look at the
upcoming milestones (found in the Roadmap) and take a peek at the open
tickets. You can pick through them and give some fixes a shot if you find it
interesting or possibly easier for you. The 1.1.4 and 1.2 milestones will
hopefully be completed in the next few months, so those would be nice to
have completed first, but they may not be simple for a first bug fix.
There's also the "Good idea for later" milestone that is filled with some
small and some large enhancements as well as a few minor bugs that could be
fixed. In there you'll find old and new stuff so you can be sure it's not
all outdated.

Those milestones are a straightforward way of finding newer bugs and
enhancements to work on, but they might not be the easiest, so feel free to
pick through them and submit patches if you find a solution, otherwise you
can just skip over it and try another!
