Hi Stefano, awesome news. New contributors are always very welcome. I saw recently that you've recently looked into different starter issues, but you were a bit out of luck because others were already working on them.
I saw your request on the "Rework examples" issue. I'll respond to it soon. I think an interesting field for new contributors are connectors to other systems. For example the elastic search connector is lacking a source. There were also requests for a connector to Cassandra. But it also depends on what you are interested in. If you have a lot of experience with a certain field or system, you can maybe bring that knowledge to the Flink community.
