To contribute, we encourage you to create useful Issues for us to work on, either bug reports or feature requests.
If you're feeling more adventurous, take a look about our good first issue list, for some issues that may be easy for new contributors to help with.
Please sign off your contributions.
A Sign-Off helps us to keep a written record that authors of contributions agree to release them under our project's license. We've adopted the DCO (Developer Certificate of Origin: http://developercertificate.org/) for this purpose:
