Replying to Jerrold:

> > Yes I am.

Here’s a good thread where we answered this recently:

[https://groups.google.com/forum/#!topic/ansible-devel/-Wx0z0JG6l4](https://groups.google.com/forum/#!topic/ansible-devel/-Wx0z0JG6l4)

Finding some bugs to fix would probably be the easiest way to get started, though we’ve also recently published a guide on testing pull requests as well.  
Both are detailed in the mailing list thread above.

Let us know if you have questions.

Thanks!
