Re: Valuable items for beginners
Thanks for your reply, Ekaterina and Hashem :) Hi ChangSeok, translation and documentation are probably the most accessible areas for new contributors, but the learning curves are still quite steep. Would you share some links for new contributors to learn it? It would be very helpful to them and me. :) Best regards.

Long story short, I would get a chance to introduce GNOME project to sophomore class students in a university. If some of them are interested in GNOME, they will perform GNOME related tasks for 4 weeks. So I'm researching which part of GNOME need beginner's hands. Translation is the first thing poping up in my mind but I hope something more attractive, not too easy for them and which could be completed in 4 weeks. Hi ChangSeok, translation and documentation are probably the most accessible areas for new contributors, but the learning curves are still quite steep. We have the next stable release (3.12) coming up next Monday, so I expect both of the teams to be very busy until the last scheduled stable release on the 14th of April. Any idea is welcome.
