[Sugar-devel] Helping people to get started

[Daniel Narvaez]

Conversation about the tasks to work on issue on #sugar

23:27 < SAMdroid_> dnarvaez: What sort of projects are good to recomend?
Should
                   we make a big list of activity ideas?
23:30 < dnarvaez> SAMdroid_: I think the big problem with lists is that
they
                  need to be maintained, otherwise they are soon more
confusing
                  then useful because they contain stuff that has already
been
                  done, that it's not very interesting anymore etc
23:30 < SAMdroid_> Yes, I see
23:30 < dnarvaez> SAMdroid_: so yeah, I think we need that kind of list,
but we
                  should try to figure out the best way to write it so that
                  it's maintained easily
23:31 < SAMdroid_> Don't we the sugar-love tag on the bug tracker?
23:32 < dnarvaez> SAMdroid_:
http://bugs.sugarlabs.org/query?status=accepted&status=assigned&status=new&status=reopened&keywords=~sugar-love&col=id&col=summary&col=status&col=type&col=priority&col=milestone&col=component&order=priority
23:32 < dnarvaez> SAMdroid_: very little stuff on it and likely not
maintained
23:32 < SAMdroid_> Your right :(
23:33 < dnarvaez> In a way, I'm not sure we need a sugar-love keyword
23:33 < dnarvaez> every valid bug is a good way to get started
23:33 < SAMdroid_> I agree
23:33 < dnarvaez> most of the time you can't say what is hard or easy for
                  someone
23:36 < dnarvaez> laying with was to keep someting like a top 10 bugs list
23:36 < dnarvaez> that wouldn't be a lot of work to maintain
23:36 < SAMdroid_> dnarvaez: I think we need to look down to the core of
this
                   issue; what do we need to do? How do we better find our
                   vision?
23:38 < dnarvaez> SAMdroid_: that's really difficult to answer though :)
And in
                  a way what we need to do is determined by what
contributors
                  like to do...
23:38 < dnarvaez> s/what we need/what we can
23:40 < SAMdroid_> dnarvaez: So then we sort of get back to posting bug
lists
                   and vauge things. A bug list does sound like a good idea
:)
23:40 < dnarvaez> SAMdroid_: we sort of have a bug list for core, see
"Sugar
                  tickets" on bugs.sugarlabs.org. But nothing for
activities.
23:41 < dnarvaez> I mean there are activities bugs there but I'm not sure
in
                  what state of triaging
23:42 < SAMdroid_> Why don't we do a top ten tickets this week thing
(ttttw: it
                   has a cool abbrivation)
23:42 < dnarvaez> a list of activities list is good btw I think, maybe we
                  should put that in a trac compoennt or something
23:43 < SAMdroid_> Ok sounds great!
23:43 < dnarvaez> SAMdroid_: yeah the top 10 thing is something we should
try I
                  think
23:43 < dnarvaez> SAMdroid_: I need to leave but I'll post this to the list
23:43 < dnarvaez> SAMdroid_: thanks for the ideas :)
