Hi Rohit,
welcome :)
I'm not sure if maybe you've already received a reply via other channels, but just in case you haven't, I'm forwarding your message to the developers' mailing list, and will try to give some small kind of reply.
A good (and only recently updated) source for getting started with Inkscape's website development is http://wiki.inkscape.org/wiki/index.php/WebSite
The bug reports for the website currently live on launchpad [1] and on gitlab in parallel. If you haven't yet, and Bryce or Martin haven't already given you another 'starter task' or have one in mind, you could browse around and look if one of them catches your interest.
@Bryce or Martin, I think you've both volunteered to be a GSOC mentor, maybe you already have some task in mind for GSOC students pre-application phase?
Regards, Maren

Hello, I am Rohit, a sophomore pursuing B.E Computer Science . I have been developing websites and managing them for the last one year for my college and a start-up that I had worked with. I have a huge interest in Python and Django and have build almost all the websites using them.
I want to contribute to Inkscape by working on the Development Project Management System during the summer. I have gone through the Janitorial task documentation and also have started searching for patches to fix. I also had a look at the Django Website Development, the inkscape-web repository.
Can you please tell me how to proceed or any task you expect me to carry out to be a part of the community ?
Hi Rohit,
I would encourage you to join this mailing list if you haven't already. If you like chatting with people directly, the IRC channel would be worth joining as well; I hang out there regularly and can answer questions relating to the project management system design.
Getting a couple patches in is a great way to get involved in the community. If you're interested in working on django code then focusing on patches to inkscape_web does make a lot of sense. I don't have suggestions for easy tasks there (Martin might).
Thanks, Bryce
