Good first contributions to express

[mmito]

Hi everyone,

we are a group of four students (w/ @rgismondi, @nickyu42, @denizy97) who would like to contribute to the express project.
We were wondering whether there could be any openings for good first contribution issues, as we have noticed that currently none is labeled as such. We have also noticed the presence of multiple issues linked to releases 4.18 and 5.0 which could serve as starting points, but are unsure on how to prioritize those.

Thanks for your replies: any indication over what is deemed useful would be of great help to start off!

Hi @mmito (and others) 👋 . Thanks for the interest! We definitely have a lot to do, and I can get some things together. I'm curious on a few points, if you know (and no problem if it's a I don't know): (1) what kinds of work are any of you interested in, like new feature, bug fix, code refactoring, test enhancement, documentation, or something else? (2) how would you perhaps describe your level of experience in javascript/node.js/express (anything is fine; will help get work that makes sense :) )? and last (3) what kind of time frame are you looking to work over (at least at first)?

Sure!

1. Since we are not thoroughly familiar with the codebase yet, we thought that working on test enhancement could be a feasible option (+ extensive testing is a strong point of express 😉). As a first contribution and in order to help us understand the system better, we could start off by documenting functionalities that would subsequently require more testing.
2. We have some experience in using node.js and web developing knowledge, but have never actively contributed to node/express.
3. We would be actively contributing to the project for 5-6 weeks!

Hi, I think I've been wrongly added to this thread. At least I don't think I'm the @denizy meant to be added to the original thread. Cheers, Deniz

It was indeed an error, sorry!
