Currently looking for help with those things.
This is absolutely not a complete list (there a millions of other things to do, see Issues and docs/TODO.txt), those are merely some suggestions of things I am particularly struggling with before I may not have the hardware or expertise. If you are motivated and want to help this project and the community there is almost certainly a spot for you :)

Funding

• If your company uses Dear ImGui, please reach to contact@dearimgui.com.

Documentation

• The wiki needs improvements.
• How about creating visual gallery showcasing external widgets?
• We need features overview pages describing Gamepad/Keyboard Navigation, Docking, Multi-Viewports, Tables etc. for users.
• We need technical overview pages describing the same but from the point of view of programmers wanting to work on them.

Community

• Helping to answer some GitHub issues/threads or Discussions?

Third-party Software
If you are familiar or interested in GLFW, designing/developing/submitting those changes to GLFW would be great

• Linux/Mac: implement per-OS workarounds for other GLFW/SDL issues, see https://github.com/ocornut/imgui/issues/2117#issuecomment-465185644
• GLFW: Solve https://github.com/glfw/glfw/issues/1236 in GLFW (transparent inputs) for portable multi-viewport support. OR implement per-OS workaround in imgui_impl_glfw.cpp. Done PR: https://github.com/glfw/glfw/pull/1568, Waiting for GLFW merge.
• GLFW: implement/solve https://github.com/glfw/glfw/issues/427 in GLFW (add missing diagonal resize mouse cursors).

Features

• Viewport: The multi-viewport feature needs users/testers to move forward! (see #1542, available in docking branch`).
• Viewport: In particular, Linux/OSX have issues and need some work from volunteers. See #2117.
• Tables: Feedback wanted! See #2957.
• Docking: Feedback wanted! See #2109.

Platform/Renderer Backends

• Mac: imgui_impl_osx.mm need some love (#1873)
• Mobile: Wanted imgui_impl_ios.cpp Platform Binding+Example for iOS (+ use existing renderer).
• Web: Wanted imgui_impl_emscripten.cpp Platform Binding+Example for Emscripten (+ use existing renderer to create a new example). (#336)
• Any of the third-party Unreal backend need multi-viewport support!
• Any of the third-party Unity backend need multi-viewport support!

External Language Bindings

• Many language bindings are not kept up to date (see https://github.com/ocornut/imgui/wiki/Links)
• Considering switching bindings to use the dear_bindings or cimgui generated data so users of your framework/language can stay up to date without manual intervention.
