Re: Thoughts on using HW for httpd?

We need to be selective about what we put on here. Having it be a mirror
of out ticket tracking would be just another thing to maintain. Having
it be things that are great entry points for beginners would be awesome.
This is a difficult balance to strike, since we don't know what
experience beginners will have, but we want to cherry-pick tasks, and
include a big sprinkling of "non-code" tasks, as we often have people
coming that want to participate, but aren't C coders (yet).

And, yes, I know, that's not a very actionable comment. I'll think on
what specific tasks I'd like to see in there. The website comes to mind.

Since it's only been +1s, I plan to put the widget on our site today.
It's on httpd.staging.apache.org if anyone wants to preview it, yell if
you disagree :-)

With regards,
Daniel.

Thoughts on using HW for httpd?

[Daniel Gruno]

Hi folks,
as some may know, ComDev is trialling a new thing called 'Help Wanted!'
at https://helpwanted.apache.org/

I've added a few example entries for httpd, and I'm wondering if this is
something we would want to plug into our web site?

You can see an example web site widget at
https://helpwanted.apache.org/wtest.html (top one shows httpd)

It's an easy way to identify which tasks we'd love to see someone get
started on (and has the benefit of being able to assign difficulty
levels, skills needed etc to a task), and judging from the input on the
existing tasks, it seems to attract people towards projects.

Thoughts? flames? snark? :)

With regards,
Daniel.

I really like this idea, especially for new committers/volunteers like me
looking for things to work on. I would also add a section related to "how
to find help if you get stuck" or "How to send your code/work for review".

Really interested, if you need any help I'll be available :)

I think the 'how to' stuff would be unique to httpd and thus belong in
our docs area. HW has a 'contribution help URL' parameter you can set,
so we could just point that to whatever contributor docs we have/want.

Glad to hear that :) As you are a committer, you already have access to
add tasks on HW (click the 'add/edit tasks' link) if you can think of
anything we might want people to look into :)

With regards,
Daniel.
