Hello Storj Community 
I am quite new to project, but i am really interested in the idea of decentralized object storage.
Would love to contribute to this project and can’t wait to get my hands dirty . Although there’s brief code contributing guideline in the github repository (readme file). But would appreciate if you guide me towards additional resources so that i can get started with it faster.
Thanks
hi @madguy im the community manager here, just shoot me a DM
I think a good starting point is storj-sim. That allowes you to run a small little test network at home and you can develop against that. The storj-sim setup might be a bit outdated. I would say we appreciate your feedback or even better just submit a PR to improve it.
In any case I am happy to help you setting up your storj-sim environment.
Hi Jocelyn,
I am unable to figure out the DM capability here, a little help would be appreciated

That said, im not going to make you jump through hoops – I just mentioned it in case other folks wondered if this is a bug or not. i’ll DM you myself
Hey folks, in case anyone else here is also interested in contributing to the project, I’ve started that conversation internally. I think it will require that we look at the roadmap and figure out which parts can be externalized, so its conversation with several internal stakeholders.
it will take me a little time to return with an update, because the launch took a lot of energy and effort, but we’ll be talking soon about this. THanks as always
I think localization of the website should become a top priority.
