My name is Smriti Gambhir, presently a final year student at BITS Pilani Goa Campus. I have been using Sympy in my projects for a while now. I would like to contribute as a developer. I have gone through https://github.com/sympy/sympy/wiki/introduction-to-contributing and glanced through the Development Workflow. I built the project from source. I am currently trying to understand the Source Code in order to get started with a few easy bugs. Can anyone tell me how to go about it? Any help would be great. 
Also, I was going through the open bugs list and patches have been submitted for most of them. Does that mean they will close soon?
Thanks!

Hi Smriti,

I'd recommended going through the whole development workflow before working on a patch.

Currently there are 1613 issues and only 197 pull requests, so I don't think you'll have trouble finding something to work on :) 88 of those issues are labeled "easy to fix":

https://github.com/sympy/sympy/issues?q=is%3Aopen+is%3Aissue+label%3A%22Easy+to+Fix%22

Those are good ones to start with.

Even if there is a PR open for an issue that you are interested in, you can help with it. You can review the PR, you can add commits to that PR, or if the PR hasn't been touched in a long time you can take over if there is no response.
