In electron/electron
, labels marked as good first issues often receive many
comments from inquiring contributors searching for projects to contribute to.
However, since issues touching the core code require a good amount of context,
C++ knowledge, and a working local Electron checkout, many commenters don't follow up.
Since the good-first-issue
label encourages low-effort comments, we should do the
following:
- Re-label the
good-first-issue
label so that it's less searchable - Document this label in
CONTRIBUTING.md
- Add a Discord #contributing channel
When we transitioned away from the emoji react verification system, we marked
all unverified users as @Unverified
. It's been a few months since then, and
there are still a couple hundred of them in the server.
Should we kick them? Yes.
@bnb is helping organize GitHub's Global Maintainer Summit. As maintainers of a large open-source project, we have a bunch of things that we could talk about (community management, automation using bots, etc.)
The CFP is due on May 1 (soon)!
@erickzhao and @molant have been working on a rewrite for the Electron website. Work can be tracked at https://github.com/electron/electronjs.org-new.
Two things that we can start thinking about:
- Gaps in our documentation/guides
- Visual redesign
