Welcome! We have labeled a handful of bugs as "beginner", which we think are good issues to get ones feet wet. In Jira you can filter on "label" and set a value of "beginner" to find those issues. We also have a direct link here to that filter:
https://s.apache.org/daffodil-beginner I would suggest reading through those that are currently unassigned and see if any jump out as interesting. Usually good ones to start with are things about adding Schema Definition Errors (SDE) since it usually just means adding a missing check somewhere and are relatively small. For example DAFFODIL-908: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/DAFFODIL-908 Also note that some bugs are very old (DAFFODIL-908 is an example)., and so the behavior may have changed It's possible some of these bugs are already resolved by other changes and just need to enable tests and verify that's the case. Also take a look a the Code Contributor Workflow: https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/DAFFODIL/Code+Contributor+Workflow That page walks you through the steps to fork the repo, check it out, run tests, create branches, pull requests, etc. - Steve On 10/13/20 12:00 PM, Regis Thomas wrote: > Hi All, > > I have been using daffodil with a project I have been working on for the past > year.
