[Sugar-devel] Helping people to get started

[Ignacio Rodríguez]

Just now for starters users I use:
"!join username"
and gcibot says :P
<gcibot> username, WE NEED YOU! http://join.sugarlabs.org/

"!install username"
<gcibot> username, please read:
http://developer.sugarlabs.org/dev-environment.md.html

All users didn't read the topic of #sugar I think

> 23:30 < dnarvaez> SAMdroid_: I think the big problem with lists is that

>                   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,

>                   it's maintained easily
> 23:31 < SAMdroid_> Don't we the sugar-love tag on the bug tracker?
> 23:32 < dnarvaez> SAMdroid_:

> 23:32 < dnarvaez> SAMdroid_: very little stuff on it and likely not

> 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

> 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

> 23:38 < dnarvaez> SAMdroid_: that's really difficult to answer though :)

> 23:38 < dnarvaez> s/what we need/what we can
> 23:40 < SAMdroid_> dnarvaez: So then we sort of get back to posting bug

> 23:40 < dnarvaez> SAMdroid_: we sort of have a bug list for core, see

> 23:41 < dnarvaez> I mean there are activities bugs there but I'm not sure

> 23:42 < SAMdroid_> Why don't we do a top ten tickets this week thing

> 23:42 < dnarvaez> a list of activities list is good btw I think, maybe we

> 23:43 < SAMdroid_> Ok sounds great!
> 23:43 < dnarvaez> SAMdroid_: yeah the top 10 thing is something we should

> 23:43 < dnarvaez> SAMdroid_: I need to leave but I'll post this to the list
> 23:43 < dnarvaez> SAMdroid_: thanks for the ideas :)
