Hey Renato - Awesome! What in particular are you interested in starting out with? We can definitely find a starter project for you in that area.
JIRA issues can have a variety of attributes; the attribute I started this thread about is the "issue type". JIRA also has "labels", which I think are a great place to indicate something would be good for noobies. For example, there could be an "issue type" of bug, with "label" noobie. Let us know what area you're interested in diving into and we can help come up with a starter project for ya. --travis On Thu, Aug 30, 2012 at 9:21 AM, Renato Marroquín Mogrovejo <[email protected]> wrote: > Hi all, > > I am new to HCatalog but I would like to get involved with the > project, and one thing that would totally help is to create an issue > type that indicates it is for "newbies".
