3. Looking for volunteers

• We need your help in finding all the content that could be updated and consolidated. We would love to have two groups of volunteers - one that will go through all the handbook content, and one that will check the courses. Please state your interest, and we will help you organize and start working on these important issues.
• Also, we started working on creating thumbnails for all lessons that need them. You’re very welcome to join us and contribute to this important and creative project. Here’s the issue with details on how to work on the remaining thumbnails:

  • Suggesting fixes or next steps

  • We labeled some of the issues as Good First Issues - if you want to start contributing, this is your starting point.
