The idea sounds great to me in principle - the only issue I see is: > we promote a simple ticket everyday for a newcomer to pickup
During GSoC this year I had difficulty selecting "simple tickets for newcomers to pickup" for the following reasons: - inconsistency in LHF tagging (not many of the existing tasks are markedd as LHF/newcomer-friendly) - inconsistency in LHF difficulty (some are easy while others have considerable difficulty for a newcomer) - LHF tasks lacking a clear description of what needs to be accomplished For these reasons I don't think the LHF pool is currently in a good state to use it as a pool of tasks for this campaign, but perhaps this could be a good reason to improve the quality of our LHF pool for this and other mentoring initiatives in the future - my only fear is that we may not have sufficient time to build this pool of tasks in time for a Christmas campaign.
