Open Source Contribution 

So, I've never really done much in the way of open source contribution. Not because I don't want to put in the effort, but because it's hard to know where to get started. What to contribute too, what to do, etc, etc. Anyone else feel the same way? I was thinking it might be worthwhile for open source projects to organize specific contribution drives for this purpose?

Feels like there is not much after asking others AND 'should' be more to use those less skilled... and there is not much to do with others and more about machines overall ?...

Just saying from lower levels of knowledge that Open Source Contribution and asking everyone I've every met... "What can I do, I have hands and internet connection, give me something" or maybe more generally across the board... feels like there is not much AND should be more because either there is not much to do with others as the human experience or improvement (maybe talking about it is good) otherwise it's

- developer stuff and hammering developer time
- or people not sure what else there is
- maybe more translation and documentation but nothing much maybe juicey

The comment "There are lots of projects needing help with documentation as well as code." kinda does it... and I know there is an obvious reply I would reply to myself is that "it's about software" but IF it's not about people more overall or reconnecting the circles with people improving comms, social interactions, feelings even personal stuff during work or before and after... then one could say it's circular machine work / people programming like a machine... for questionable return if that goes on forever... and not so much human return (or potential using software but no really in development).

Anyway my unskilled 2 cents and I think some sort of hope the unskilled can be given something to fill the void in their life too... toward looking at each other eventually... not only a machine and abusing coffee!.... CHEERS!
