Hello all! I'm working with OpenHatch on a project called "Starling Bounties." We're trying a strategy to help projects get new contributors, and we want PiTiVi to be among the very first. I brought this up on IRC already, but anyways, here's how it works:
* The PiTiVi community selects a few bugs to nominate (together, we will pick a single one, in this thread) that should be good for newbies to tackle. On IRC, we all got excited about Bug 615570 * The PiTiVi development community commits to not working on that bug for the duration of the bounty, around 14 days * We write a blog post describing the bug and documenting how to go about fixing it with a step-by-step walkthrough * We give it *lots* of publicity -- with help from you guys reaching Planet Gnome * Whoever leaves a comment claiming the bug gets a lock for 48 hours. If they submit a patch, the PiTiVi community must review it within 24 hours, and if it works, should commit it! And then we say thanks and we (and you guys) write a follow-up blog post welcoming the new contributor into PiTiVi. The idea is very similar to "PiTiVi Love" but dressed up to be super friendly for newbies, and wrapped inside of a contest.You can read more on our wiki, http://openhatch.org/wiki/Starling We want PiTiVi to be among the very first projects because we kinda like it (-: What do you guys think?
