Finding An Open Issue That Suits My Skills - wnoguchi/msysgit GitHub Wiki

Not all reported issues immediately find someone to work on them. All labels that nobody has volunteered for are labelled to categorize them according to hardness and effort.

 Hardness
 	^
 	| C  D
 	| A  B
 	+-------> Effort

and we have given them names:

• A - Donald Duck: This issue should be few lines of code and doable in a manageable amount of time by someone not familiar by the codebase at all.
• B - Scrat: This issue takes more effort but is still quite straightforward to do. Quite some more lines of code than A.
• C - Albert Einstein: Something that is probably not many lines of code but needs some research and/or discussion.
• D - Chuck Norris: A big redesign that needs research and will also result in a lot of changes or new code.

So if you are new to the Git for Windows community have a look for "Donald Duck" issues which will give you a good starting point to get involved. The more you become familiar with the project the more you can increase your level of issue solving.
