What I was really asking was about the very basic mechanics of it. "Where are the instructions about how to sign up" meant "do I have to register somewhere and if so where and how?" "Where are the instructions about what to do" meant "suppose I have registered and have the latest Pharo open on my laptop; how do I connect to the repository, how do I submit a change for review?" I have been playing with Pharo since version 1 but I've never actually connected to a repository. I think a "Complete Idiot's Guide to Getting Started with Distributed Development in Phraro" probably already exists somewhere, I just don't know where to look for it.

Hi richard
https://github.com/orgs/pharo-project/projects/8 lists some easy projects. I'd like to make a contribution.
Cool. The first thing I suggest is to take the stupidiest issue like adding a comment in a method or fixing a badly written comment and make a PR. I like to do this trivial things because there are easy to give a positive slant on my energy.
Where are the instructions on how to sign up and what to do? Fair warning, I'll probably need a bit of hand-holdingâ¦
For the contributions feel free to pick what you like
- Some easy things are: better comments, improving test coverage - Now Iâm pretty sure that we can get collection improvements - This one could interest you: underscores in numeric literals https://github.com/pharo-project/pheps/pull/18/files We had long design discussions and I think that the result is good but we never got the time to implement it.
