Contributions are highly appreciated and encouraged! Don't hesitate to participate to discussions in the issues, propose new features and ask for help.
If you are not very confident with Rust, **I will be glad to mentor as best as I can if you decide to tackle an issue or new feature.**
People who are not familiar with the code can look at [issues that are tagged **easy**](https://github.com/azerupi/mdBook/labels/Easy). A lot of issues are also related to web development, so people that are not comfortable with Rust can also participate! :wink:
You can pick any issue you want to work on. Usually it's a good idea to ask if someone is already working on it and if not to claim the issue.
