We love contributions! There's [lots to do on Kotlin](http://youtrack.jetbrains.com/issues/KT) and on the [standard library](https://youtrack.jetbrains.com/issues/KT?q=Subtask+of%3A+KT-2554+%23Unresolved) so why not chat with us on the [forum](http://devnet.jetbrains.net/community/kotlin?view=discussions) about what you're interested in doing?

If you want to find some issues to start off with, try [this query](https://youtrack.jetbrains.com/issues?q=tag%3A+%7BUp+For+Grabs%7D+%23Unresolved) which should find all issues that marked as "up-for-grabs".
Currently only committers can assign issues to themselves so just add a comment if you're starting work on it.
A nice gentle way to contribute would be to review the [API docs](http://jetbrains.github.com/kotlin/versions/snapshot/apidocs/index.html) and find classes or functions which are not documented very well and submit a patch.

In particular it'd be great if all functions included a nice example of how to use it such as for the <a href="http://jetbrains.github.com/kotlin/versions/snapshot/apidocs/kotlin/java/util/Collection-extensions.html#filter(kotlin.Function1)">filter()</a> function on Collection. This is implemented using the <a href="https://github.com/JetBrains/kotlin/blob/master/libraries/stdlib/src/kotlin/IterablesLazy.kt#L17">@includeFunctionBody</a> macro to include code from a test function. This serves as a double win; the API gets better documented with nice examples to help new users and the code gets more test coverage.
