Same also for Slack, github comments, etc.

From a Apache perspective, it should happen on the mailing list, eventually referencing a central wiki/faq/whatever.

many design documents are mixed in maillist, jira comments, it would be a
big help to put them in a centralized list. Also I would expect more
wiki/blogs to provide in-depth analysis, like the translation from pipeline
to runner specified topology, window/trigger implementation. Without these
knowledge, it's hard to touch the core concepts.

Got it. By experience on other Apache projects, it's really hard to

Hi JB,

I was proposing a FAQ (or another form), not something about IDE setup.
The FAQ
could group in the same place Q/A like for example "what is a source, how
do I
use it to implement an IO"

Hi Etienne,

What about the contribution guide ? I think it's covered in the IntelliJ
and
Eclipse setup sections.

Hi all,

I definitely agree with everything that is said in this thread.

I might suggest another good to have:

to ease the work of a new contributor, it would be nice to have some
sort of
programming guide but not oriented to pipeline writers but to
sdk/runner/io/...
writers.

I know that new contributors have the docs available in the google
drive, the
ML, the code base, and the availability of beamers, but maybe having
key points
in a common place (like FAQ for sdk/runner/io/... writers, for example)
would be
interesting.

Best,

Etienne

Hi,

I think we already tag the newbie jira ("low hanging fruit" ;)).

Good idea for domain of interest/concept.

JB

concept
and if it's a good "first bug".

1. Have people unassign themselves from issues they're not actively

2. Have the community engage more in triage, improving tickets

Perhaps
some can be closed.


+1 on all three of these, and will do my part shortly!

Also, it is worth noting that we have improved as a project in
tracking
issues in the last 1-2 months. There are more resolved issues than
opened
in this period, whereas in the past we'd have a hundred more opened
than
resolved.

I would also propose to not assign new Jira automatically: now, the
Jira is

automatically assigned to the Jira component leader.


Imagine a user discovering an issue and filing a new JIRA issue. It
wouldn't be assigned to anyone, significantly reducing the chance
somebody
will actually help.

Of course, somebody could search for new issues periodically, etc.
-- but
that just won't happen. The final outcome would be -- instead of a
lot of
issues assigned to component leads, we'd have (much) more unassigned
issues, which were *never* looked at. Assigning an issue just sets a
community expectation that a committer should look -- and it does
help move
things along!

I think a better approach of addressing the current state would be
increase
the number of components / component leads. With more people
involved and
lower per-person load, I think we'd be more effective.
