Still no luck?
Still unsure of where to start, even after looking at our good-first-issues and help-wanted tags in GitHub?
- Take a look at past (done) GitHub issues and look at what others have done to help
- Read the code base and try to understand how stuff works under the hood
- read the Besu docs and try to find errors, outdated information, or simple spelling mistakes, etc
- help build this wiki by adding more contributor information
