Hi

Someone asked about contributing to Racket during the Racket Town Hall.

As an open source project contributions are welcome from everyone.

If you are interested in contributing the best place to start looking is issues tagged #good-first-issue in the main Racket repo: [issues tagged `good first issue` at github.com/racket/racket](https://github.com/racket/racket/issues?q=is%3Aissue%20state%3Aopen%20label%3A%22good%20first%20issue%22)

You might also want to check out issues on other repos included in the main distribution at [https://github.com/racket](https://github.com/racket) or the issues for packages in the [Racket Package Catalog](https://pkgs.racket-lang.org/) all packages include links to their source repository. Some worth considering are:

- [`racket-langserver`](https://github.com/jeapostrophe/racket-langserver)
- [Rhombus](https://github.com/racket/rhombus) - has regular meet-ups and discussion [https://github.com/racket/rhombus/discussions](https://github.com/racket/rhombus/discussions)
- [Qi](https://github.com/drym-org/qi) - meets every Friday most discussion on Racket Discourse

Found an issue you want to tackle, but you are not sure how to get started? I’ve included some guides below but the most important thing is we welcome questions - it is ok to ask here on [discourse](https://racket.discourse.group/invites/VxkBcXY7yL), or on the [Racket Discord](https://discord.gg/6Zq8sH5).

Some contribution guides:

- [Building, Distributing, and Contributing to Racket](https://docs.racket-lang.org/racket-build-guide/index.html)
- [Tutorial: Contributing to Racket](https://blog.racket-lang.org/2017/09/tutorial-contributing-to-racket.html) describes how to contribute to racket documentation(e.g. fix a typo), the language itself or a package in the main distribution. (by Ben Greenman)

Best regards

Did people stop labeling good first issues? I noticed that the last `good-first-issue` + `open` issue is in 2023.
