    Hi

    I’m wondering what I have to do to say I want to work on a bug I’ve searched for this and can’t find anything I don’t know if I was
    searching for the right thing

    Just start somewhere.

    Just start somewhere.

    If the first "thingy" is too heavy to lift, try a next "thingy".
    If also too heavy, try the next. Do know that you learn with each
    attempt. Allow yourself to start small and to fail often.
    Having fun with finding how to contribute to libre software
    is already contributing to libre software.

    Just to clarify, have you found a bug that has already been
    reported and are you trying to figure out how to claim it, or
    are you looking to report a new bug?
