We had quite a few new and known community members contribute to our Necko code base. We are happy about everyone that wants to get involved. Reporting bugs, submitting logs, and also patches are all highly valued by us. You can take a look at our good-first-bugs and also reach out to us at matrix #necko:mozilla.org if you want to start getting more involved.
Setting up the toolchain can be quite challenging. Therefore, we sometimes have good-first-bugs that give you the opportunity to just test out the toolchain.
