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 :)
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.

I also check mozilla's website and it looks cool to have for newcomers. I could suggest to add a difficulty indicator or difficulty level inside each topic. George On Mon, Nov 2, 2015 at 11:48 AM, george kanakis <gkanos@gmail.com> wrote:
