Yeah!

Right. I've selected a few tickets that might fit:

- https://redmine.tails.boum.org/code/issues/6878 (Python + Qt)

Theory says it should be simple. Practice may disagree.

- https://redmine.tails.boum.org/code/issues/12638 (Python + GTK)

I have no idea how hard this one is. But it would be a great
improvement for speakers of some non-English languages.

- https://redmine.tails.boum.org/code/issues/12103 (JavaScript)

This one probably needs to go through UX design first; if you
mention your interest to @sajolida on the ticket, he might manage
to fast-track it a bit

- https://redmine.tails.boum.org/code/issues/15169 (Python + GTK)

Only worth it if you happen to find a cheap and simple solution
without spending much time on it (see segfault's comment).
The code lives there in our main Git repository:
config/chroot_local-includes/usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/tailsgreeter/

Feel free to ask more questions or details here or on Redmine.
Depending on the ticket you pick and on the timing, your primary
point of contact for your first contribution might be me, or one of my
team-mates.

Oh? An example?
