How to start contributing to plone for Gsoc'19

Hi guys, I am Asit. I am proficient in HTML and javascript and would like to contribute Plone as part of gsoc 2019. How do I get started ?

@asitkandpal Hi and welcome i think you should start contributing to plone documentation first , its a great process to get familiar with workflow

Welcome, @asitkandpal! Here are some suggestions:

Read through the info and suggestions at https://plone.org/community/gsoc

It boils down to:

  • get familiar with Plone, using the docs.plone.org or training.plone.org
  • use Plone to create a website, play with it
  • fix a few bugs or find some new bugs and fix them
  • or write some documentation, do some testing,
  • engage with the community in this forum

@asitkandpal We do have a lot of activity in our Volto (Plone React) project and Pastanaga UI. You can see them in these repos https://github.com/plone/volto and https://github.com/plone/pastanaga so you should try to get familiar with them, and with Plone itself. If you haven't already, please see Plone.org/gsoc6 for more hints (from 2018) on how to get started.
