What Is Contributor Day?
Contributor Day is a dedicated day where WordPress community members come together to work on different areas of the WordPress project.
You do not need to be a developer or have previous contribution experience. There are many ways to participate, including writing documentation, testing WordPress, helping users, improving accessibility, creating designs, supporting marketing activities, translating content, and contributing to training resources.
Team members and experienced contributors will be available to help you understand the process, choose a suitable task, and get started.
