Hello,

What YOU can do to help out in the curl project. Things we would appreciate
help and assistance with at the moment. Some things that are current.

For general tips on how to get started helping out, start at [1].

## survey

Fill in the annual curl user survey [3] and make your friends do it as well.
This is the best way we have to solicit user feedback and will guide us going
forward.

## known bugs

If you have been looking for somewhere to start contributing, one way is to
find an entry in the known bugs document [2] that sounds like something you
would like to fix and then go do it.

It is a good idea to check early if the issue is still around and to bounce
potential solutions with the team.

## reproduce bugs

A great way to help out is to join the issues tracker on GitHub [4] and help
us figure out what the issues are about. Can we reproduce them? Can we figure
out the reason for them? Write a PR to fix them?

## test rc builds

While basically over for this release cycle as we shipped the third and last
rc build last week for this time, building and testing release candidates in
your environment and use cases *before* the actual release helps us greatly to
catch regressions and makes for a better and more solid release.

## experimental features

Build curl with one or more of these features enabled, use them and make sure
that they work the way you want to work and how the documentation says they
work:

  - SSL session import/export
  - HTTPS RR
  - ECH

Submit issues when you find something wrong!
