Me too, although I don't know how to go about doing this if need be, any tips ?

what if I want to start my contribution I just don't know which project to choose ? this assumes that I already know the project I want to contribute to.

why ?

I've seen this referenced few times as a resource for learning C beyond the basics.

And my question for anyone who has gone through it, Is it worth the tag ?

Where is the ToC ?

So cross reference the common experiences from different small projects. That does make sense.

Have you done that ? Or are you doing it at the moment ? because some hints of those projects ideas will be awesome.

Yes I can see the deeper meaning of the exercise, yet, it helps to know what we're talking about specifically.

I am not proficient yet, and I would like to be, and I don't think it's one of those (When it happens you'll know it) moments, I believe there is a clear set of skills we need to work through first in order to see the forest for the trees.

My question therefore is, what are those skills exactly ?

> Pick a small number of specific skills you're simply good but not great at.

I am struggling with this one since forever, what are the skills-set a programmer should enumerate through ? like how good they can connect to a DB provider ? or how quickly they can set up a web server ? what qualifies as a skill in this context ?

Always keep a Beginner's Mind.
