Hi Craig,

It’s good to hear that you’re joining the community. How to look for projects 
is a very good question, I see the following opportunities for you:

1) You mentioned the “Research Projects” page which is quite old and I’m not 
sure how outdated the projects that are listed there. However the Partitioned 
Zookeeper” sounds quite interesting to me. Ben Reed wrote the original post, 
maybe he would be kind to give you some background here if he reads this. If 
you would like to work on it and have some ideas, I suggest to open a google 
doc or something like that and share your design with community. I’m sure there 
will be folks here who are happy to help with reviews.

2) Come up with your own idea and follow the same approach as outlined above.

3) (what I did at the beginning) Open ZooKeeper GitHub and start reviewing 
recent pull request and share your thoughts. Besides that you could also dig 
Jiras and try to find some opportunities and tasks to jump in with your 
contribution.

Remember: No contribution is better than the other. Every one of them counts. 
There’re no ideas which are too small to share, no tasks which are too 
meaningless to work on and no stupid questions. You don’t need to change the 
world to get credited. ZK community appreciates everything you would like to do 
in order to help.

Happy coding!

Andor
