I am a beginner and have just started to use Postman. I found it interesting and hence would like to contribute, especially to the newman project.
I am looking for experienced mentors who can guide me through as to how and where I should start.
Thanks
There are many ways to contribute to Postman such as answering questions on this forum, blogging about how you use Postman and the features that drove you to adopt Postman over the other tools in the industry.
There has been recent developments in the Postman CLI which supersedes the Newman CLI/Library as the default CLI to leverage Postman without the gui.
However, if you feel passionate about Newman you can look at the CONTRIBUTING file in the Newman repository. Once you read the contributing requirements take a look at the ISSUES tab in Github and find an issue that meets your skill level/desire to fix.
The best way to contribute is to be active in the community and you already made the first step!

So @buchananr2 you mention that the Postman CLI appears to be superseding Newman, and as there has not been a newman public deliverable to NPM for 9 months now, does that mean that Postman is deprecating support for it? If not, then is there a pathway for creating more maintainers of the NPM package to actually allow a more regular cadence to the NPM package, so those of us actually using it can continue to use it without waiting on Postman to deem it worth of a release?
Is the postman-runtime npm package (which does appear to be on a much more regular and newer candence of release) an alternative to running newman, although starting from a lower level and would also require a large rewrite of how the newman tests are currently being run?
