Onbarding as contributor to lem

[jean0t]

Adapting pieces of codes to the styleguide recommended also counts as relevant contribution?
I don't think I will be able to create functionalities or change anything relevant now, because I separated time to study the codebase for the first time today.

It counts, I personally appreciate a PR to fix a typo rather than a message pointing to it (although it is useful and welcome too, of course).

Do you have another specific question for this issue? We could anyways discuss about onboarding on a discussion.

[jean0t]

do you have a recommendation from where I should start looking into it? so I can understand the project better
I am looking at the files in src first and I will look into the other directories later

Look at https://lem-project.github.io/usage/configuration/ to read a bit about keys, keymaps, custom commands, then you could read an extension source (extensions/markdown-mode.lisp, python-mode… that use those and are kinda high level), then it's a good idea to look at the components in src: see how buffers.lisp work, etc.
