I think a list to an automatic list of issues (JIRA report?) can be
useful right on get-involved page.
This results in a list with more than 90 issues. I don't believe that this
is a good starting point
for someone who wants to start doing something.
I agree, I understand your point below, but even the list from JIRA is
better than nothing. I don't know how to get it. Probably I can figure it
out, but still if there would be a link that would be easier.
+1 to add such a list, the Mahout people use tags to label jiras which
are suitable for new contributors. We could also do that and set up a filter
which shows these jiras only when clicking on a link.
Anyway we can easily link to such an issue list in jira.
We don't have issues for everything which someone might want to contribute.
Getting support for a new language or format support for a new language
is always
nice, but we only have a very few jiras for that.
Hm.. good point, I didn't think about it.
It is the same story for new components which would make a good fit for
OpenNLP,
but we don't have jiras for, e.g. spell checking, dependency parsing, SRL,
entity disambiguation, etc.
I see your point. It then should be more of a detailed roadmap, or wishlist
with some details in a form of itemized lists. General ideas for new stuff.
Basically, I see two parts of it:
1) itemized list of ideas for new stuff, a wishlist or roadmap kind of thing
2) list of JIRA issues: bugs, nuisances, feature requests and other
3) probably a permanent and a separate, evergreen item: documentation :)
+1 sounds good.
Would you place it on the Get Involved page or should we make a new page
for that e.g. "Contributions Wanted"
