I’m looking for more open source projects to contribute to on GitHub and would like to know which languages and frameworks I need to learn to contribute to the project.
**From what I understand so far…**
- Ruby
- Ruby on Rails
- Javascript (i have a good understanding - still have much to learn)
- Jquery
- Ember.js
- (obviously html/css) (I already know that)
Anything else I need to add to that list? (I’m a fast learner 🙂 )

I would say the essential things to know are Ember.js and Rails.

Alright, I’m going to crash-course myself in those and then try to resolve some issues on the Discourse GitHub 🙂

Keep in mind, you’re not going to find any issues on [Github.com](http://Github.com). We track every here on Meta. Check out the #Contribute > Bug category for bugs, and the #pr-welcome and #starter-task tags for things to do. Be sure to also review [Contributing to Discourse development](https://meta.discourse.org/t/discourse-development-contribution-guidelines/3823).

Thanks for the heads up.
