Hey Syncthing devs,
I would love to make some useful contributions to the project. In did read the conditrbution.md file so I am aware of the requirements. I have over 10 years of professional experience in Java and Angular development in high volume enterprise IT environments, I’m not another vibe coder that starts his IT career. 😉
I would love to discus where I can contribute and what the roadmap would be. However, I do need some kind of onboarding as well to get it going. Are you guys open to it?

There’s some onboarding-like documentation about building and debugging etc on [Development — Syncthing documentation](https://docs.syncthing.net/dev/index.html) which is probably the closest thing. Otherwise it’s probably a question of finding an issue that seems interesting and doesn’t look too controversial and getting your feet wet. 🙂
