That said, I'm going to try to outline some general advice that might help you to get beyond the first hurdle. Much of this advice would be transferable to other codebases too, but I've tried to tailor it to Vue specifically. -There are lots of other ways to contribute to the project aside from writing code for Vue 3 itself.
