  The best thing to do is get on the Freenode IRC network and visit #angband-dev. The developers hang out there all the time and would be happy to talk to you about your ideas, or things to work on.
  
  There is also a forum discussing Angband development as well as gameplay: http://angband.oook.cz.
  
  Finally, there is a Trac website where you can find a wiki and also open tickets: http://trac.rephial.org

  Write Documentation
  
  There are lots of kinds of documentation the game can use: install guides, game manuals, tips and tricks, development documentation. We can use help on all of it.

Q: What is a bug or issue with angband that you've been putting off, neglecting, or just plain avoiding?
- 0
  
  The Angband front end UIs (especially Windows) are a bit clunky
  
  Angband has had a lot of contributors and slowly evolved over the last 20 years. Some of front ends aren't frequently used by the developers so they don't get as much attention.

  What makes the situation sub-optimal?
  Examples:
  
  I don't know how to get started with internationalizing my app.
  
  Bug 392 about printing was filed five years ago, and I don't even know if printing still works.
  
  I want help from a C coder writing a Maildir patch for Alpine.
  
  Note:
  
  If this issue was formally filed on the web, be sure to include the URL.

What else do you want to talk about?
