summary
Internship work adds concrete Appium 2.0 pieces: exposed scripts field in driver package.json by tracing runtime calls with console logging, and built an Appium driver for custom hardware that demonstrates plugging new device types into Appium. Contribution workflow uses Git, npm modules, and PR review across vendors, emphasizes readable code and adhering to repo conventions, and recommends starting with a small task to learn the large codebase before tackling bigger features.
