OK, reserving bugs for new contributors does reduce the number of
people contending for them, but it doesn't eliminate the need to
figure out if someone else is already working on a bug before you
start. Encouraging folks to assign bugs to themselves when they start
work is probably the best way to solve that.
+1, I think most do a good job at this.
Where do you think is the appropriate place to formally ask for a new tag
and/or reservations?
This list is a good place to ask for a tag like that. It's also a good
topic for the cross-project meetings.
Launchpad "tags" are per-project, so ideally you would find a pilot
project (or a few pilot projects) ready to play with a
"I-added-instructions-for-first-timers-to-follow" type tag. If those are
successful, we could then encourage every other project to adopt it too...
I really like this idea. I was contacted many times by people who wanted
to start contributing and had troubles finding a bug to fix.
low-hanging-fruit are not always so easy to understand for newbies even
if they might be straightforward for experienced people. Another issue
is that sometimes trivial bugs are fixed by experienced people. Which is
not optimal. Somebody spends time filing a bug, editing the description
and tagging it low-hanging-fruit, hoping that it will be taken by a
newbie (there's no way to reserve a bug for newbies right now). Then
it's taken by an experience contributor, :/ the reporter could have
fixed it easily in the first place, without spending time adding a
detailed description to it.
I'd like to help. Neutron could be one of the pilot project. I will
mention that in the next Neutron team meeting :)
