The Mindshare Committee discussed this in their weekly meeting. Here are the notes:
Benefits of an "easyfix" website - highlighting easyfix / newcomer friendly bugs across a project has huge potential to help on-ramp new contributors - can help improve process for mentored projects, easyfix tasks are a part of the process of onboarding outreachy applicants - Mindshare generally agrees this is a great tool, and we want to help support the initiative to improve the site
Our knowledge of status - no idea if it has actual users now. i cant imagine it does, it's confusing - not very intuitive, not sure where to start
Teams/Groups that should be involved - Mindshare is a great way to coordinate the easyfix triaging, since we are connected to the most active teams on the Mindshare side. Can provide a lot of support with the internal outreach needed. - We should involve FESCo. That committee talks about standards. Do we have a standard tag for easyfix and newbiefriendly across issue tracker tools? - We should involve the D&I team, we want to ensure the site is accessible and any DEI concerns taken into consideration. - The Join SIG specializes in this work, want to make sure their experience working on the front line is heard in this discussion. - Fedora Council should be aware of the discussion and provide input if desired - Translations team should be aware of the discussion and provide input if desired.
Ideas for Features/Improvements - more publicity about it via magazine/comm blog - ask our community members to tag them with easyfix more often - The initiative should be publicized on the devel list requesting feedback - Emails should be sent to devel and other lists periodically reminding people to triage - We would propose "good first issue" instead of "easyfix", as what is "easy" is objective. or use of both tags with different definitions - Create a badge series for triaging pagure tickets with the tag "good first issue" or "easyfix" to help provide incentive for continual triaging
