Hi all, We have a number of component and sub-projects using GitHub Issues as a task tracker. This is a message for those who uses this tracker and wants to attract more newcomer contributors.
GitHub has recently introduced some machinery to help newcomers to discover newbie-friendly and "help wanted" issues across repositories and organizations (see this page <https://help.github.com/en/articles/helping-new-contributors-find-your-project-with-labels>). Right now their search works specifically for "good first issue" and "help wanted", so labels like "newbie-friendly" and "newbie" *will not work*. It I am planning to add some GitHub issue queries to https://jenkins.io/participate/code/ . If you maintain repos with GitHub, I suggest to rename labels to the standard GitHub ones so that we could follow the GitHub best practices. Here are some queries which search across 3 organizations: jenkinsci, jenkins-infra, jenkins-zh - Good First Issues <https://github.com/search?q=org%3Ajenkinsci+org%3Ajenkins-infra+org%3Ajenkins-zh+is%3Aissue+is%3Aopen+label%3A%22good+first+issue%22> - Help Wanted <https://github.com/search?q=org%3Ajenkinsci+org%3Ajenkins-infra+org%3Ajenkins-zh+is%3Aissue+is%3Aopen+label%3A%22help+wanted%22> Would also appreciate opinions whether we should include jenkins-zh into the default queries or whether we should host separate ones for the localized communities. Best regards, Oleg Nenashev P.S: Bonus points for adding the 'hacktoberfest' label to the tickets: https://jenkins.io/events/hacktoberfest :) -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Jenkins Developers" group.
