Hi Alexei,

One area you can easily give a hand is in the libraries. We have devised a
set of rules a few months ago which form our Library Convention. We have
yet to adjust all the symbols and footprints to respect these rules, and we
need as well to approve all the pull requests coming in. There is therefore
no development experience needed.

If this is of interest to you, I suggest you join the kicad-lib-committers
mailing list, and we can start off something from there.

Regards,

Carl Poirier
