[opensuse-project] "What Can I Do For OpenSUSE?"
Hi, I attended an interesting presentation today regarding how to get new contributors involved in open source projects. One link that I thought was really interesting was this site run by mozilla: http://whatcanidoformozilla.org/ To summarize, this site asks the user a bunch of questions and tries to help them find an area of the project where they could have an immediate impact. Would anyone be interested in starting a similar webpage for openSUSE? Does something like this already exist for the project? I don’t think it would be that difficult to setup, we would just need to make/improve wiki pages for sections that don’t already have a well documented process. I will try and have a POC on github sometimes next week if possible as I am pretty swamped right now. Please let me know what you think, I feel like this would be really useful but I would like feedback from the community :) -- Regards, Uzair Shamim -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-project+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, email: opensuse-project+owner@opensuse.org

I went to check out the site - nice idea! I went through a couple of the items and it's nice that there's a contact and a list of things to-do. I think something like that could be really useful for us. -- Per Jessen, Zürich (7.6°C) http://www.hostsuisse.com/ - dedicated server rental in Switzerland. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-project+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, email: opensuse-project+owner@opensuse.org
Just an update on this so people don't think its dead, Kostas suggested having a wiki hackathon to fix up some of the outdated pages/create new pages as needed. For the time being a list of pages is available at https://public.etherpad-mozilla.org/p/opensuse_wiki. Feel free to add/remove from the list as needed and if you are able to help with the hackathon that would be very much appreciated *(no time set yet)* -- Regards, Uzair Shamim -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-project+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, email: opensuse-project+owner@opensuse.org
