RFC: newbies and janitors
|
Darren Hart <dvhart@...>
The Yocto Project is a complex thing, and people eager to get involved can have a difficult time sorting out where to start. The Linux kernel community put together kernelnewbies and kerneljanitors to help people get up to speed and provide them with manageable tasks to get them started.
I think we have (or should have) the "newbies" side of things covered with #yocto #poky and the website and the various manuals and documentation projects, but I think something like "janitors" would be valuable. This could be something as simple as a tag for bugzilla bugs appropriate for newcomers go after. I imagine this is something we could share with OE - or perhaps OE already has something that serves this purpose - or could be extended to do so. Thoughts? -- Darren Hart Intel Open Source Technology Center Yocto Project - Linux Kernel |

One documentation task for October is a "Newbies" sort of guide or page or something that will help the user that is totally unfamiliar with open source development. This is for the person that doesn't know what IRC means. I have been doing some information gathering on that type of information.
