Set up a custom url for Ruby Australia community project list

[quintrino]

We should have a ruby.org.au/contributions or ruby.org.au/tasks or some url that points to RubyAU Community PM so that it's easier to point one off volunteers to the pending items.

Love it. 🙌

Implementation suggestions follow - just loose ideas that could be used a starting point?

The ruby.org.au/contributions page includes some/all of:

• (Obviously some explanatory text blurb but that's not actually the important part)
• Link from above to the full project on Github
  • Make that a big-ass button like the sponsorship prospectus now appears
  • Should be "unmissable" 😁
• Inline a list of tasks that we want to highlight for assistance from community:
  • Suggest: add a new GH label in community and ruby_au repos
  • Maybe Attention, HighProfile or similar? Bikeshed as needed...
  • Extract from GH via API - filter on that label
  • So just those open issues with label are inlined in this contributions page
  • Probably want to limit list to 10-12 issues at any given time
  • TLDR: People can see our priority issues directly from Ruby AU site
• We could also implement a "Good First Issue"?
  • Expect GFI would similarly be implemented as a GH Label tagging relevant issues
  • Issues could also be listed inline as potential reference for new contributors
  • For clarity - separate list to the "Attention" list above
  • Note that "Good First Issue" is non-trival and needs some care - see this and that
  • Not just: "this issue is really easy - just slap a GFI label on it"
  • TLDR: GFI is a good idea; requires care to be effective
• Finally, show a list of members who have contributed to Ruby AU
  • IMHO list should just be member profile images and link to profiles
  • Expanded details in section below
• Again - not comprehensive (certainly other things could go here too)

Member Profiles - Recognising Contributions

Semi-related to above - will split concept into separate issue if there's support?

The /contributions page could feed into "Member Profiles" concept…

Idea: Community Contributor Recognition

• Members have profile info on Ruby AU site
• [Paging @leesheppard for thoughts...IIRC Profiles was your idea?]
• In profile, members could link F/OSS projects that they contribute to
• Some will also have contributions to rubyaustralia/ repos on Github
• We add a dedicated "Ruby AU" badge to their profile to recognise efforts
• IDK maybe not all our repos (some cleanup is needed there!)
• But even some of the archived/historical ones shows support for community
• Would want capacity to add badge manually too (contributions aren't just in code!)

TLDR: Ultimately IMHO a minor gesture, but one that recognises people for contributions to Ruby AU community

I think we start with just a basic redirection and can have these features as a version 2.
