 Don't worry if it takes you longer than other people to write fixes initially. Some areas are genuinely harder than others. Some problems are disguised versions of something much bigger, so it might take a couple of attempts to get something that satisfies the maintainers. Not to worry; any serious patch is better than no patch because it gives us something to start from and incrementally improve.
 
+== Things for people not confident squishing bugs ==
+
+If you're not confident fixing bugs in the core code then there are still other ways to contribute.
+ * Confirm existing bugs or work out how to repeat them
+ * Look for tickets in the unreviewed state and see if you can repeat the problem
+ * If the explanation of the bug isn't clear, work out what the reporter is talking about and add that in a comment on the original ticket
+ * Look for tickets needing documentation or needing improved documentation and try to complete them.
