# TODO
If you're looking for something to do, look here!
Let us know if you're working on one of the items.
If you'd like something to work on, ping @purpleidea and I'll create an issue
tailored especially for you! Just let me know your approximate golang skill
level and how many hours you'd like to spend on the patch.
Here is a TODO list of longstanding items that are either lower-priority, or
more involved in terms of time, skill-level, and/or motivation.
Please have a look, and let us know if you're working on one of the items. It's
best to open an issue to track your progress and to discuss any implementation
questions you might have.
Lastly, if you'd like something different to work on, please ping @purpleidea
and I'll create an issue tailored especially for your approximate golang skill
level and available time commitment in terms of hours you'd need to spend on the
patch.
Happy Hacking!
