| Now you know how to build components and smash bugs, browse [[https://gitlab.xfce.org/|the isssues reported on Gitlab]] and try to fix something that looks easy. If you have an idea on how to fix or some code that seems to work but you are not so sure, don’t be afraid to ask at #xfce-dev. Once you have a good enough solution, follow [[https://docs.xfce.org/contribute/dev/git/start#gitlab_forks_and_merge_requests|these steps]] in order to create a merge request. Wait a few days, if you get no answer, poke us at #xfce-dev or use the Xfce4-dev mailing list. After some merge requests, you may [[https://docs.xfce.org/contribute/dev/get-a-contributor-account|ask commit rights]] and join the dev club, yay! | Now you know how to build components and smash bugs, browse [[https://gitlab.xfce.org/|the isssues reported on Gitlab]] and try to fix something that looks easy.
