Hi Jarek, Thank you for the response, and I apology for the late reply.
for example we could add "Project X is > doing it for years, if you want to see effect of it - here is the link, and > you can go talk to them - for example on devlist or on #issue-triage > channel on their slack etc. ).

I would appreciate it if you add the links and any other thoughts here. Feel free to do it; this is live documentation! Also it might be worth mentioning that for those projects (so pretty much > everyone) that use Github, the "good first issue" is already part of the > Github Ecosystem and tagging issues with "good first issue" label taps into > to that. I will add this info to the wiki! I am glad I addressed the relevance of this initiative in the wiki; this was my main concern. Now that I have finished most of my Master's activities, I will come back to this subject. Team, please let me know if anyone also has any considerations.
