There should be a buddy who takes care of potential new programmers and paves the way for them, both in technical and organisational questions. Why? For example, it is an illusion to believe that a newcomer who knows C++ and has understood the content of an issue can start programming immediately. No, he must first get an overview of the entire code in order to find the right place and he must familiarise himself with the processes in the project. How long does that take? And please keep in mind that we are talking about volunteers who are only here in their spare time. 2 weeks? 4 weeks? Who takes on this effort without being sure beforehand that they want to participate permanently? If we want to attract people who are not yet sure if they want to work permanently, I'm afraid we have to find ways to make it even easier to get involved.
