Hi Thomas,
personal experience concerning contribution:
It will strongly depend on your background and desires.
I just started couple of month getting involved.
It turned out, "low hanging fruits" and "good first issue" did not fit
exactly to me. I'm beginner on C. So I started trying to reproduce the
bugs, put comments, added lengthy tickets to trigger problems and did a
lot of boring still necessary python-test-cleanup (which can still be
improved and a lot of tests still are missing...).
I also did the cleanup of removing lower Python & SDL versions. Here I
learned that SDL1.2 is very old (and the development is abandoned?), so
I guess the team would be happy to be able to switch to SDL2 and I
suggest to see it as a priority ;) but unfortunately, I can not
contribute to it...
Finally, with my mathematical background, I can enter the drawing issues
and did some C algorithm stuff, so I'm happy to learn C with nice help
from everybody :)
Documentation is also always improvable. And somebody suggested, we
should improve the examples...
Still so many things to do \o/

Hi,
I strongly feel that starting with tests is a good idea, and also for
"good first issue" issues.
Most projects mark issues which should be fairly easy to get started on.
Definitely choose a project based on your interests, and one where
people are willing to help out.
Here's a "good first issue" for you if you want it:
https://github.com/pygame/pygame/issues/565
Just say on there something like "I'm working on this".
Also see: https://www.pygame.org/wiki/Contribute
Feel free to drop in the #contributing room where you can get help.

If I'm getting my feet wet with programming seriously, where should
I best focus my efforts? I can do documentation and explain what
code does decently well, but I'd also like to actually conteibute
some code to the project.
Thanks for pointing me in the right direction .
