Guidance Needed #898

As I am new to open source project, and What I have observed so far is for a newcomer it is difficult to work on it because many people have already contributed a lot that its difficult to find issues let alone to fix that issue because of limitation to their skillset, hence I think this program or lets say open source is not beginner friendly. |

Open source can feel overwhelming at first, but it is beginner-friendly if you start small. Look for "good first issue" or "help wanted" tags on repositories—these are usually easier for newcomers. Don't hesitate to ask questions or for clarification on issues. You can contact mentors through GitHub discussions, the Discord channels, or by engaging with the community on social media platforms like Twitter or LinkedIn. you can follow #175 for step by step guidance. |

But that's what i have mentioned that all those issues that have "good first issue" or "help wanted" are already taken by some other contributors. Hence very difficult to find an issue that is easy to solve. |
