For example,

yes it will be reaaly good thing if i do this
because CodeIgniter is a great platform to learn and discus the things
If you want to try to contribute (sending PRs), check this issue:

There have been plenty of times I've wanted to contribute to the wed docs. I'm pretty new with web development in general. I taught myself html back when modems did that screechy thing and html frames were common practice. My background since was in scenic design for theatre and general graphic design. I have picked up web development as an obsessive ADHD hobby in the last year and a half. All I wanted to know is what happens backstage when you submit a form. That sent me down a hyper rabbit hole of procedural php, Javascript SQL, any other language I find needing to learn. Learning OOP and php MVC frameworks seemed inevitable. CI SEEMED like it was going to be the easiest to learn ( I don't know how many versions ago, but at least 4 point something). Well, because I like graphic design it was super important I could load my own stylesheets, but no matter what I tried and no matter how many forums I visited, i couldn't get them to work. And when things get too hard for squirrel brain, here I lose interest. So I went in search of other frame works. Laravel...Way too many dependencies... Symfony, Laminas, Cake, even Yaf and Phalcon, Tried them all there was a downsides to all of them. (Phalcon's pretty sweet actually, and I should give Cake another go round now that I understand more, anyhoo....). I don't know if I changed of if CI changed in the last half year, but I came back to it and my stylesheets and any other assets load just right.
As far as contributing, as a newbie to web dev in general I don't think I could contribute to the source code other than bringing up issues on GitHub, I will usually try everything and search everywhere for a solution before I do that. There are some times when reading the documentation on the website, from a graphic design perspective , and a newbie perspective, that I think visual presentation of information could be clearer and more detailed. I would love to help contribute to the website's docs. First, I WANT A SCROLL TO TOP BUTTON!!!! on mobile at least. You have one on this forum, why not the docs? I don't know how to use GitHub very well other than Issues or I'd do that. I would take mentorship on that. I'm pretty sure I installed git for windows somewhere along the way...
Always futzing with my Holodeck program...
Please try to build the user guide.

Hii,
In my opinion, the big reason is communication barriers - If the primary language of communication within the project is not a developer's native language, they may feel hesitant to contribute due to potential language barriers. Maybe this is the big reason.
Hi,
Yes, I have wanted to contribute to CodeIgniter in the past, but a couple of factors have held me back. One of the main challenges I encountered was the lack of clear documentation on how to get started with contributing to the project. It would be beneficial to have a comprehensive guide or resources that outline the contribution process, coding standards, and areas where help is needed the most. Additionally, I found it difficult to find specific tasks or issues suitable for my skill set. Having a well-maintained issue tracker or a list of beginner-friendly tasks could help newcomers like me find meaningful ways to contribute and make a difference. Lastly, as someone who is relatively new to the open-source community, I felt a bit intimidated by the existing contributors and their expertise. Having a welcoming and supportive community that actively encourages and mentors new contributors would greatly enhance the experience and attract more people to participate. Overall, I believe addressing these challenges by improving documentation, providing clear guidance for newcomers, and fostering a friendly community would greatly encourage more people to get involved in CodeIgniter's development. Thank you.
We have the guide for contributions.
