Dear all
I am reading this resource for understanding how development can be done in various ways, from bug reports to testing to C++. I’m working on the C++ part at the moment, but if you are curious about the codebase and how to help keep it alive, read this fantastic site - @weefuzzy wrote it in a way that you don’t need to be as deep as he is in the world of coding to understand how to contribute.
I am refraining from tagging a few people here who told me they wanted to get involved over the years 
(and yes, I am also seeking funding to try to move things faster, but code maintenance is hard if impossible to fund, so for now it is a labour of love)
