Our primary means of communication is our very own Discourse forum, but you will also have access to instant chat messaging together with your mentor. Prior to the internship the Discourse team at large is available to answer any questions you may have on meta.discourse.org or via team@discourse.org.

## **What you'll be working on**
|
||||
|
||||
In our experience it's better for applicants to work on an assortment of bite-sized tasks rather than one large project stretching across several months. Therefore we prefer to start with a small and well documented project before we assign you to new tasks tailored to your interests & skillset.
|
||||
|
||||
For your first contribution (required before applying) we recommend extending one of these plugins:
|
||||
|
||||
### Ruby - New chat provider

|
||||
|
||||
Pending providers open for contribution are [listed here](https://meta.discourse.org/t/chatroom-integration-plugin-discourse-chat-integration/66522). Stride, Microsoft Teams, Basecamp, IRC Cloud and Flock.
|
||||
|
||||
### Ruby - New backup provider

|
||||
|
||||
See the TODO section for pending providers open for contribution. We recommend looking at the [Google Drive extension](https://github.com/berlindiamonds/discourse-sync-to-googledrive) to learn how to extend the synchronizer base.

An Outreachy intern for Discourse will get started with well established, thoroughly specced projects. Over time your mentor will provide you with new, increasingly challenging tasks. There is a very good chance you will eventually be making contributions to the Discourse core project, just like other Outreachy participants before you:
