Thanks for doing this Jan. I think a ticket category works a lot better than just a page alone.
Simon and I talked about this once, and another good point is that by having a category, it's a lot easier for regular, more experienced developers to sweep the 'newcomers' list and fix anything that needs it, perhaps for a pending release that may be soon. But these days we seem to have a somewhat healthy influx of developers and patches, so maybe these tickets can just get fixed the natural way. :) On Mon, Nov 17, 2014 at 3:31 AM, Joachim Breitner <[email protected]> wrote: > Hi, > > > Am Donnerstag, den 13.11.2014, 14:56 +0100 schrieb Jan Stolarek: >> HEADS UP: if you see a ticket that is easy enough to be tackled by a >> newcomer please tag it >> using "newcomer" keyword. >> >> I already added "newcomer" keyword to tickets that were listed on the >> Newcomers page and replaced >> the static list with dynamicaly generated one.
