Hi George,

I am the maintainer for GCC Rust, please feel free to join our zulip server
https://gcc-rust.zulipchat.com/, there are other students on the server
also. In terms of getting involved, the first thing to do is make sure you
are able to download the code via git, compile and run the test suite.

After you are able to do that I would suggest writing some test cases and
running the compiler yourself to get familiar with it. As part of helping
students get started, I have been trying to create issues tagged with
good-first-pr
https://github.com/Rust-GCC/gccrs/issues?q=is%3Aissue+is%3Aopen+label%3Agood-first-pr
and feel free to ask questions and guidance on those specific issues as a
coding starting point.

Does this help?

Thanks

--Phil
