Most R packages have a corresponding development repository, for example on github. Popular R packages (with many users) may have many open issues, and some are labeled in order to help developers find which issues they can work on.

For example the data.table package uses the "beginner-task" label, and there are a few open issues: https://github.com/Rdatatable/data.table/issues?q=is%3Aopen+is%3Aissue+label%3Abeginner-task

More generally, you could search all of github for R language repository issues that have the word "beginner" somewhere in the label: https://github.com/search?p=2&q=is%3Aopen+is%3Aissue+label%3Abeginner+language%3AR+state%3Aopen&type=Issues

For this task you should fix one such outstanding issue. The task will be considered complete when the issue is closed (by the corresponding package maintainer).
