Hi, folks, This question is benevolent and wise, and there is no uniform standard to measure. The reason for the question is that I found only a few good first issues when I looked through all the subproject[1] issues of the Apache APISIX community.
Last year, Ruofei Zhao helped to build the Good first issue page[2], and you will find that: 1. There have 11 issues with the Good first issue label in the apache/apisix repo, 2. There have four issues in the apache/apisix-dashboard repo 3. There have 0 or few good first issues in other repos. Maybe we don't have many good first issues currently, but I'd like to know if we should have a clear scope for the Good first issues in Apache APISIX projects? What's the good first issue that our community needs? Here's my proposal for different levels of contributors: 1. Newbie 1.1 Description: People who have never been exposed to programming and have no knowledge of the project but wish to be involved in an open source project/community. 1.2 Cases: i18n, Documentation typo fix. 2. Beginner 2.1 Description: Programming experience (at any level of depth), but no background in the knowledge required for API gateways (technology: Nginx, OpenResty, etc.; knowledge: what is API gateway?) 2.2 Cases 2.2.1 Contribute independent features, i.e., issues that intersect less with the core. e.g. apache/apisix plugins. 2.2.2 Contributing test coverage, e.g., Dashboard, Ingress Controller project test writing. 2.2.3 Optimization of documentation, such as higher quality internationalized documentation. 3. Familiar 3.1 Description: Experience with production use of API gateways (regardless of usage) and unfamiliarity with Apache APISIX code/products, but can get up to speed quickly. 3.2 Cases: Contribute valuable features and try to fix non-urgent bugs (giving each other some patience). 4. Advanced 4.1 Description: Active participants in the project know what they are doing and why. 5.2 Cases: No restrictions, but tends to lead to becoming a community KOL, contributing more valuable features. After discussing and confirming the proposal, I hope we can pick out the practical issues for contributors based on the recommendation.
