How to gain experience in Drupal development and contribute: patchnewbie

Thanks to Angela Byron, there is now an easy way to learn and contribute to Drupal.

If one checks the Drupal issues assigned to patchnewbie, they will get a list of relatively simple issues that need patches. This is suitable if one wants to cut your teeth in Drupal, but daunted by the magnitude of changes required by complex issues.

If you know someone who wants to contribute but was shy, or daunted, go ahead and pass that info to them. Or even go and try it yourself.
