Just came across this:

Hacktoberfest 2025

Seems like a good way to encourage contributions to open source projects like Discourse Here are the official guides on meta for how to contribute:

Contributing to Discourse

This is a guide on how to contribute to the Discourse open-source project in various ways including advocacy, design, translation, code contributions, bug reporting, and financial support. Required user level: Anyone can contribute! Many passionate people often ask how they can give back to Discourse. The simple answer is, “You’re awesome! ” and yes, there are many ways you can contribute. Summary In this documentation, we’ll cover: Different ways …

Contributing to Discourse development

This guide is designed for those who wish to contribute to the Discourse open-source project, detailing the setup and conventions necessary for effective collaboration. Required user level: While anyone can contribute code, you will need to be familiar with Ruby and JavaScript. Summary This documentation will cover the following: Setting up your development environment Understanding where to begin contributing Creating and working with Discourse plugins Co…

Many large projects are tagged on GitHub e.g. “good first issue” to indicate possible entry points for less experienced developers to get their feet wet. I see the #starter-task tag here on meta seems to be the similar thing for Discourse. Perhaps more things could be given this tag?

#starter-task

This could also be a good opportunity for plugin developers to point out some entry points for new contributions.

Personally (for example) I don’t have much experience with Ruby or JS but would be happy to try my hand at things like CSS fixes, documentation improvements, or perhaps a simple task for the WP Discourse plugin.

Sure and @erlend_sh our highest priority should be improving these “getting started” documents as we can, based on any feedback we get. Can you make sure that happens?

Grazie per aver pubblicato questo, ne abbiamo parlato anche sul nostro account Twitter @discourse!

Penso che al momento ci siano un po’ pochi topic #starter-task perché abbiamo appena concluso un’intensa esperienza con Outreachy questa estate. Ma se qualcuno che legge questo sa di qualcosa che pensa possa essere un buon starter task, sentitevi liberi di segnalarlo in una nuova risposta e daremo un’occhiata per confermare. (Lo dico solo perché, per nostra esperienza, “sembra facile!” non è sempre vero, a seconda di cosa si tratti.)

E probabilmente ci sono alcuni topic semplici Contribute > Bug che potrebbero essere risolti senza troppo impegno, se ve ne interessa qualcuno.
