The next step would be to see if you can assign issues to yourself. If you can't you will need some extra permissions, which can get organised. Then look for your assignments - find that itch that you need to scratch. If the indexer is something that interests you then scour those issues to see what you want to work on, or work with Tamas to select issues. Good luck.
