Hi Andrew, welcome! A few places that we always need help with is around the documentation. If you're new to the project it can also be a good way to learn more about the components and how things work. There has been good progress made in the past few months at cleaning up the code and improving the Javadocs but I'm sure there are still places where things can be improved. There's a long list of issues in Jira [1] but most aren't labeled well for new contributors, but feel free to look through them and see if anything gets your attention and ask for help as you go. As we progress with this release and open a vote, having people test the release candidate is very much appreciated. A newer part of OpenNLP is its ONNX Runtime integration. I know there is a lot that can be improved upon there in terms of usability and functionality. All contributions, even the smallest ones, are very much welcome and appreciated!
