We need help to make this repo work. New contributors often need help fitting their contributions into the repo. Feel free to offer help to new contributors, especially if you share a language with them.

New contributors often have trouble getting their PRs to pass tests. Volunteers can help!

@LuigiImVector thanks for all the assistance you've given. Let us know if you're interested in being an editor.

Woow, I would love to be an editor. What do i have to do to become one?

Hi, I'd love to become an active member here.

I love the idea of this project and it has actually helped me to program :)

As someone who learns from books, this repos ethics and intentions fit me well.

I currently also work on tldr-pages so my entire time is slightly limited however I always read the majority of my notifications.

So overall, as asked above, what do I have to do to become one?

[eshellman]

@CleanMachine1 thanks for all your comments and contributions! You're already helping a lot. Beginners especially appreciate assistance.

[CleanMachine1]

Thanks for the acknowledgement. :)

Should I continue with contributions and small reviews to gain a collaborator/maintainer status.

[eshellman]

yes please!

[eshellman]

Thanks to our volunteers, we've managed to merge or close over a thousand PRs in October!

[CleanMachine1]

I am unaware whether there has been any changes to wanting more members/volunteers however I'd like to give a little notice that, if possible, I would like to work towards being a member or the repo. If not, I'll still continue to review the PRs whenever I am free!

[eshellman]

@CleanMachine1 have resent the invitation from last year

[CleanMachine1]

Oh, well thank you very much, I was unaware I had actually been invited since it doesn't show in the notifications tab! I have joined the repo and will continue to contribute :)

@TomB2001 you are welcome. Could you translate docs to German? Recently we've updated some parts of CONTRIBUTING.md, HOWTO.md and CODE_OF_CONDUCT.md. See #6301 #5351 and #6724

Please, read contributing guidelines first

Hey, @eshellman I speak English and Chinese, and I would love to be an editor. How could I become one? Also, I think this problem could benefit from improving the CONTRIBUTING guidelines as well. I am happy to work on this if you think it's a good idea.

[eshellman]

@torn4dom4n can you look at #7838 ?

[eshellman]

@actuallyyun yes improvements on Contributing would be helpful

[actuallyyun]
