Warehouse is attracting several newer contributors including people new to open source, which is great. As Warehouse matures, we have fewer and fewer easy small bugs *in the Python side* left. (So, we have more work for new frontend contributors, and less for Pythonists.)
I'd love to refer these folks to other parts of the Python packaging and distribution ecosystem so we can improve the whole toolchain. Right now there are 29 open issues in PyPA projects on GitHub marked "good first issue", 11 in Warehouse and most of the rest in pip: https://github.com/issues?utf8=%E2%9C%93&q=user%3Apypa+is%3Aopen+label%3A%22good+first+issue%22+ I'm totally fine with giving new volunteers teensy tiny doc fix tasks, "manually test this functionality" tasks, and "check whether this bug is still reproducible" tasks, in case you want to write up some of those. Here's a template we use to make good first issues in Warehouse, in case you want to emulate it: https://github.com/pypa/warehouse/issues/new?template=good-first-issue.md **Good First Issue**: This issue is good for first time contributors. If you've already contributed to Warehouse, please work on [another issue without this label](https://github.com/pypa/warehouse/issues?utf8=%E2%9C%93&q=is%3Aissue+is%3Aopen+-label%3A%22good+first+issue%22) instead. If there is not a corresponding pull request for this issue, it is up for grabs. For directions for getting set up, see our [Getting Started Guide](https://warehouse.pypa.io/development/getting-started/). If you are working on this issue and have questions, please feel free to ask them here, [`#pypa-dev` on Freenode](https://webchat.freenode.net/?channels=%23pypa-dev), or the [pypa-dev mailing list](https://groups.google.com/forum/#!forum/pypa-dev). If your project isn't under https://github.com/pypa , but you want to publicize your good first issues, reply to this thread? Thanks. -- Sumana Harihareswara Warehouse project manager Changeset Consulting https://changeset.nyc _______________________________________________ Distutils-SIG maillist - Distutils-SIG@python.org https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/distutils-sig
