A good first step to contributing to the Drupal project is to find a task to do -- task pages give step-by-step guides to performing tasks that contribute to the Drupal software and community, with links to the background knowledge and skills that are required to perform the task. Each task page also lists roles that regularly perform the task. To find a task:
- Browse the list of documented tasks for Drupal contributors below.
- Browse by Skills -- skill pages link to Tasks that use them.
- There are suggested task sequences on the Getting Started Contributing page.
This guide is always evolving. If you'd like to help improve it, the best starting point is the Contribute to the Contributor Guide page.
