I've been burnt out for a while at trying to answer newcomer's
questions. It's not scalable, and even when I do the work to not answer
a question - but instead send a link to the doc where the answer is -
it's still tedious.
So I finally thought: why don't we try to automate some part of this?
https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/COMDEV/New+Contributor+Guidance+Tool
There are a million things we could do to make newcomers more welcome
and feel confident they can find a place they might fit. This is just
one, but it's one I'm hoping other folks are interested in helping to build.
Feel free to discuss here; and please join in on the wiki to crystalize
what thing we might actually build that would help guide a complete
newcomer to someplace they might find interesting. Besides being a
really cool tool, it'd save Maxim a lot of time!
