contributing to UgandaEMR

Hi, I’m a new contributor working on HTML forms. I’m interested in UgandaEMR tasks and willing to help. Are there any beginner-friendly tickets or support tasks?

Hi! Welcome, and thank you for reaching out — it’s great to have you interested in contributing to UgandaEMR! :tada:

Since you’re comfortable with HTML forms, you’re already well-positioned to help. Here are some great starting points:

Beginner-friendly areas for HTML form contributors:

-Form validation improvements — checking that existing forms have proper client-side validation (required fields, input formats, etc.)

- Bug fixes on existing forms — fixing layout issues, broken field logic, or missing labels

- Accessibility improvements — adding ARIA labels, improving tab order, and ensuring forms are screen-reader friendly

- New data entry forms — building forms for patient data capture based on existing design patterns

How to get started:

1. Check the project’s issue tracker (JIRA) and filter by labels like `good first issue`, `help wanted`, or `frontend`

2. Join the OpenMRS/UgandaEMR community forums or Slack/Talk channels and introduce yourself there too

Hope this will be of much help.
