Dear newcomer, 

we kindly request that you begin your onboarding by reviewing our curated, 
helpful information under this link: 
https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/FINERACT-2135

Every contribution that enhances the codebase’s safety, effectiveness, or 
readability is valuable! :)

Considering your availability and willingness to contribute, there are several 
areas where improvements are needed:

Bug tickets
https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/FINERACT-2492?filter=-1&jql=project%20%3D%20%22Apache%20Fineract%22%20%20AND%20type%20%3D%20Bug%20%20%20AND%20resolution%20%3D%20Unresolved%20order%20by%20created%20DESC
 

Code maintainability / readability
We have a significant number of compilation warnings due to various reasons. I 
believe at least half of these warnings could be easily fixed. As we work on 
resolving these warnings, the codebase could become safer and easier to 
maintain.

All the rest of the stories that are considered beginner friendly

Hopefully, this gives you some ideas!

P.S.: Before you pick up a story that describes a new feature to be introduced, 
please send an email to the Fineract DEV email list to discuss whether it’s 
something we really want to include in Fineract.

Regards,
Adam
