=== Get a real bug ===
At this point, you've seen nearly everything you need to do hack on SpiderMonkey. So it's time to get a real bug to work on. You can get a bug on [httpshttp://bugzillawww.mozillajoshmatthews.org/buglist.cgi?list_id=246047&resolution=---&classification=Components&status_whiteboard_type=substring&query_format=advanced&status_whiteboard=%5Bmentor%3D&bug_status=UNCONFIRMED&bug_status=NEW&bug_status=ASSIGNED&bug_status=REOPENED&component=JavaScript%20Engine&product=Core mentored bug] or a "[https:net/bugsahoy/bugzilla.mozilla.org/buglist.cgi?list_id=246036&resolution=---&classification=Components&status_whiteboard_type=substring&query_format=advanced&status_whiteboard=%5Bgood%20first%20bug%5D&bug_status=UNCONFIRMED&bug_status=NEW&bug_status=ASSIGNED&bug_status=REOPENED&componentjseng=JavaScript%20Engine1&productunowned=Core Good First Bug1 Bugs Ahoy]".
Fix the bug, updating the bug report with your progress, and asking questions as you go (either in the bug comments, or in [irc://irc.mozilla.org/#jsapi #jsapi]). When it's done, repeat all the steps above. Then it's time to get your patch into the tree.
