Great Idea. But this is my first time contributing to open source so don't know much about the procedures. Would love to try though! :)

I've found this article by Sarah Drasner really good at breaking down the process if it's your first time - How to contribute to an Open Source Project

At the end of the day, giving it all a go is the whole ethos behind Hacktoberfest, so don't worry! Plus, everyone on Dev is so supportive, you can always post questions šŸ™‚

I wouldn't be of much help, but wanted throw this out there. Could ajax tabs use the role log stuff to make more accessible?
