At the PyCon US 2026 sprints, Natalia, Jacob and I were referring to the
same resources, processes and workflows, but lacked a singular place to
send people to. There appears to be a need for a page to exist in the
contribution docs for contribution sprint events. When people have access
to an existing Django contributor, there's less of a need to read the
contribution guidelines in full and more of a push to get the person
productive.
This new page should contain a concise set of information that the Django
contributor can send people to so that when they explain in person,
there's a written version for the new contributor to refer back to.
The topics we should cover are:
- Quick set up for installing dependencies
- Show how to run tests, build docs
- Explain [https://youtube.com/shorts/D6QHet5U82U?si=j5M6sy0ufpeGy_iZ
vulture method]
- Give quick tips on assessing issues (>20000, pick a component they
recognize)
- Give script to resume work off of someone else's branch
