Hi Sharon!
Our latest efforts were building Debathena for Debian buster. All of
the packages built, but need testing and conversion to Python3. I'd
say the easiest way to get started is to install Debian Buster in a
VM, then add debathena.list as generated by
https://debathena.mit.edu/sources.list/buster/development and try to
install debathena-clients, debathena-login, and eventually
debathena-login-graphical and debathena-workstation. Test out the
functionality, and if you find bugs, report them on github on
github.com/mit-athena/$package. Feel free to fork and propose fixes
via pull requests!
Sincerely,
-Alex

I've noticed that there haven't been major updates for a few years - is there any documentation on how to get started with contributing, and what features/bugs are still in the queue?
