Beginners welcome!
Hi everyone,
Following ApacheCon NA 2019 and CCOSS 2019, there was a spike of
interest in contributing to Apache Projects, and specifically to
CouchDB. I wanted to remind everyone that we have 2 lists of issues
tagged beginner-friendly:
https://github.com/apache/couchdb/issues?q=is%3Aissue+is%3Aopen+label%3Abeginner-friendly
https://github.com/apache/couchdb-documentation/issues?q=is%3Aissue+is%3Aopen+label%3Abeginner-friendly
The CouchDB PMC welcomes GitHub pull requests on any and all of these!
If you've been hesitant to get involved, now's your chance. If you have
questions about how to get involved over and above this, or how to set
up a development environment for CouchDB, just ask, don't be shy.
Cheers,
Joan "more contributors!" Touzet

Hi Johs,
Awesome. Step 1 is follow these instructions to get started with the
documentation
https://github.com/apache/couchdb-documentation#building-this-repo
So git clone the repo,
setup python environment (Make sure you have python installed)
run make check - if that passes your setup is all good to go.
Any errors you experience post here so we can then improve the getting
started process for other people.
Then its best to do a search for the documentation you want to change. Once
you find where it is located. Make the edits.
Once you have made your changes. Submit them as a PR and we can then review
it and take it from there.
Cheers
Garren

Joan and Garren,
I have been around for a long time, but never made a PR.
I would like to contribute to the Design Document page on documentation http://docs.couchdb.org/en/stable/ddocs/ddocs.html?highlight=updatefun
If you give me a baby-steps guide to get started, I will finally make a try to contribute.

Hi Everyone,
Just to extend on what Joan has said, I am happy to help mentor anyone who
wants to get started on CouchDB development. If you are interested in the
FoundationDB work, I'm sure we could find some beginner-friendly work there
to get started.
So please reach out.
Cheers
Garren
