Hi all, I would like to organize a set of issues (via a label) that are good starting points for someone wanting to contribute to Druid. I want to have the link to the issues filtered on that label to be part of the README. This would encourage people new to Druid to contribute and get involved in the community.
Right now there are two labels that sort of look like they might be talking about something relevant: "Contributions Welcome" (https://github.com/apache/incubator-druid/labels/Contributions%20Welcome) This label seems to only be used by Leventov. I am not a Java dev so it is hard for me to judge if these issues are really good starter issues. Maybe this is more of a "Help Wanted" label. "Difficulty - Easy" (https://github.com/apache/incubator-druid/labels/Difficulty%20-%20Easy) This label seems more aligned with what I want but I find its text too off-putting to use. "Easy"? for who? It would not be "easy" for me to to fix a distributed systems bug no matter how small. On the flip side the console might have a CSS bug that is "easy" in my eyes but will make a Java dev very sad. While I am on this subject I think these "Difficulty - *" labels are generally unhelpful - does anyone actually use them? My suggestion is as follows: 1. Establish a "Starter" label, link it from the README 2. Rename the "Difficulty - Easy" to "Starter" and review to see if some issues could be added or removed 3. Remove all the "Difficulty - *" labels I would love to get some feedback on this.
