Hi, I'm Josh. I'm relatively new to open source development and wanted to
work on something I was passionate about (EMACs), I was wondering if there
were any small fixes/features that needed work.

Thank you,
Josh

Thank you for your interest in Emacs.

I suggest you start by reading the file CONTRIBUTE, if you haven't
already.  Thereafter, you can:

  . lurk here and pick up any issues/bugs that sound interesting
  . subscribe to bug-gnu-emacs@gnu.org to get bug reports and
    enhancements, or view them via the Web interface at
    https://debbugs.gnu.org/
  . read etc/TODO and look for tasks that seem interesting

If you intend to contribute to Emacs, I also suggest to start your
legal paperwork of assigning copyright to the FSF rolling at this
time, because without the copyright assignment, we will only be able
to accept a very small amount of code changes from you.  (I can send
you the form to fill if you want to start this now.)
