Description

Sorry that my time has been fairly limited in the last year to contribute & maintain Less. I'm hoping to be able to squeeze some more time for open source projects in the coming months. In the meantime, here's how others can help.

Core contributions

This repo needs core contributors. Ideally, you should have either a) a record of other open source contributions, and/or b) merged pulls to this repo. A core contributor would help with a) repo maintenance, b) triaging issues, and c) package publishing.

Tasks

Here are some general top-of-mind maintenance tasks.

I may add more as I think of it.

Research direction
Examine the linked issues in the less meta repository (e.g., #38, #41-46) to understand specific maintenance tasks. Assess if any of these tasks are well defined and could be broken down for newcomers. The maintainer has indicated limited time, so contributing by taking on small tasks from those links may help.
