Contribute to Open edx and Learning Roadmap

Hi @Jim and welcome!

  1. We have a developer’s Quickstart, Quick Start: First Open edX Pull Request — Latest documentation , that may be of interest! There’s a follow-on, too, once you’ve done that one: Quick Start: So You Want to Contribute to Open edX — Latest documentation
  2. @Yagnesh helpfully points out the developer’s guide, which is a more in-depth guide once you’ve done the Quickstarts.
  3. A lot of the best practices are documented in the Developer’s Guide.
    1. We’ll happily take questions here in the forums as well - there’s a Developer’s category that I’d recommend posting development questions in.
    2. We use labels such as good first issue, help wanted, release testing, to indicate places we’re looking for help. You can search the Open edX GitHub org for these labels to find issues.
    3. I maintain GitHub - openedx/docs.openedx.org: Open edX Official Documentation and we’re always looking for help with documentation of all types. Check out the open issues (they’re labeled with personas) and tag me (@sarina on GitHub) if you are interested in helping out!
    4. You can comment assign me on any issue to assign yourself to it.

Thanks for joining the community, and have fun! :grin:
