Hi All - we've a pinned issue with all the details for Karate here.

[hacktoberfest] instructions for contributors - link to backlog items #1778

Thank you for your interest in contributing to Karate ! Besides a few open bugs already tagged as #hacktoberfest, we have a set of well-documented roadmap items and enhancements proposed here: github.com/intuit/karate/projects/3

IMPORTANT: Most of the open items are non-trivial and expect you to have a working knowledge of Java. Please keep this in mind before calling "dibs" on any of the items !

All you need to do is choose what you wish to work on, look at the Proposed column - and then we will move the status of that item to Assigned. You can discuss here in this issue, just add a comment.

IMPORTANT: after your first comment here, we will assign the item to you, but we need you to demonstrate intent to work on the item within 5 days. Just create a new issue with a brief comment saying that you are working on it. This will be the issue against which you can submit the final PR (Pull Request). It would be great if you can also provide some details of how you are planning to implement the solution. If we don't hear from you within 5 days, we will move the item back to the pile for anyone else to pick up.

Once your code is ready, just submit a Pull Request (in October 2021) and reference this issue.

To summarize:

A) choose an item you want to work on from the roadmap B) make a comment below mentioning which item, and we will assign it to you C) within 5 days create an issue so that we know you are actively working on it (else the item moves back to being un-assigned) D) when your code is ready (or draft) submit a PR and refer the issue you created in (C)

Contributing to Karate is easy, especially for Java programmers. We have a detailed developer guide here: github.com/intuit/karate/wiki/Deve...
