Hi William, thank you for reaching out. FYI: Tomorrow 20:00 CEST is our monthly meeting (see mailing list post).

A great beginner task may be https://bugs.gnunet.org/view.php?id=5708. Basically it is about extending gnunet-config with specific flags that output the build configuration. (For reference, see curl-config and the --libs, --features or --prefix flags). Also, I think we should revive our FCFS domain registration service for GNS. Will likely require very little C, some HTML/CSS and lots of understanding what it is supposed to do. Integration into the website would be nice as well. > > Helping out with GNUnet, in some way, seems like a good way for me to learn > about contributing a free software project, while also contributing to > society at large.
