I ran into David Reid at PyCon a few weeks ago, and I showed him an index of "easy" and "bitesize" bugs I'm putting on the web at https://openhatch.org/search/. He told me that the Twisted team tags bugs as "easy" in Trac.
So all you might like to see https://openhatch.org/search/?q=Twisted&toughness=bitesize -- it's the result of search for bugs whose full text or project matches "Twisted", constrained to only include the bugs that are "easy". This is the same query as http://twistedmatrix.com/trac/query?status=new&status=assigned&status=reopened&keywords=~easy&order=priority -- the same 18 tickets -- but cached in our index. The OpenHatch website aims to show helpful, friendly things to potential new contributors. A list of bugs isn't always adequate, so I'm really happy jesstess wrote some tips on the OpenHatch project page regarding getting involved in Twisted: https://openhatch.org/+projects/Twisted The "Relatedly" sidebox on that project page has other helpful links: potential mentors, namely people who have signed into OpenHatch and said they can mentor in Python or Twisted. So that's a quick tour of some of relevant things to you guys. I have a few questions for you guys, if you're game: * Of these things, what are the most interesting or useful? the least? * Are there other tickets from the Twisted Trac that would be good to pull in? * Would you like me to ping the list if we come up with anything else I think you might find interesting? * Do any of you want to re-use some of this data -- can we make that easier? We're pretty interested in helping projects convert users to contributors (in code, testing, documentation, whatever!) across free software. I wonder if there is a website widget that we could make for you to put on twistedmatrix.com -- a big box talking about how "You TOO can contribute to Twisted -- there are mentors, easy bugs, and everything!" This email has gotten fairly long, so I'll stop here for now. I don't mean to barge in; let me know if I'm unwelcome, and I'll wander off. I find myself in a maze of Twisted developers, none of whom are alike. Thanks! I'll be hanging out on #twisted as myself, paulproteus. -- Asheesh. P.S.
