Hi,

There are plenty of good documents to get started on contributing to Ansible

http://docs.ansible.com/ansible/latest/dev_guide/index.html

I’d start by looking at this, it will show you how to get started with your development environment
http://docs.ansible.com/ansible/latest/dev_guide/developing_modules_general.html

you may be asked to rebase your fork to make sure it’s up to date, here is how you can do it.

Common pitfalls

Python3 support

The style guide exists. It’s layout/linking could use some work.

https://github.com/ansible/community - There are also particular community focus groups that will have extra information related to a particular group of modules.

#ansible-dev on IRC or the particular workgroup channel, e.g. #ansible-aws can also be helpful.
