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:

Hi, Its great to hear that you guys also think it would be useful to newcomers! After speaking to Josh Mathews (one of the creators of the Mozilla site) there is a fork[1] that is designed to be customizable so I am going to give it a whirl and see what I can spit out. On that topic, is there a list of all the "How to get involved for component X" links? I found one for YaST[2] but does anyone have other links?

I have started working on a forked version here: https://github.com/alanbortu/asknot-ng If you know any good "how to" links related to openSUSE please share them so I can add them to the links (feel free to send pull requests). And I would love some help with the branding/theme of the page. Otherwise I will just find some logos and backgrounds myself and add them, but I cant promise that it will look as good as the homepage. - -- Regards, Uzair Shamim -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v2 iQIcBAEBAgAGBQJWOEZ9AAoJEKk4ocK8Jbkd3AUP/2dBrh/6jIX/LEsF57UCmtPT VCsZ3StCzlcTlE6EXFbdL8wnU2tw9L67fN3WGpA16OcR/DAiAdGU8vH539+tbCq0 YXaMU68X1CC/NrQfuS0ahQPM0mRbIfqhZmoQUckuXFWyL8nmCqLgflfruQ9OU5dT Vchj9AC6BgvF8A8dzjc2+K6Ypg6bi3hctdpW3pbpkbKIu5LEvZ9IkNatOMOBBwEI 7hjTxlvAw3bExk1eXJ+WNsUivkVPUllgNSLGB4ofeQTLpZCP2TTnpH+ShFUVLQ+5 /R0Rt8ZKQ2JUv+uSW52FnIXVcJdgF2W460oCYPSNJqJ0OHW3nvNDGW6tSDBihRuO trSAc4SIkzaP8FMPjFTGR6VWs1p8a8d4lAoMM1c0wFqv0VaJONZH++hBUUS8PfVc LfeAyw6wjcab/+rHmtfkADVakP4EysYpWv1iIcS1Rs4exnpy80pV+z6m7QAls02k gNjC2fkmvQ1g0f3XF5ecVlhp95nMHSPj0A4newB+JJsBuLp41ahkLv0/l+d/um2n pWQcgR1TA6WwYwJH5ikWa8KiUAXmPocntL8GS4GZcNYjCYK4V472c7jNul29pWo9 6/p7meGay9uwcH37WJAfReoU1JV/t3WNAvt7DaN0RZms31RzcsN0jH8CnS2CmtZ9 0pr8YzvYW3zpmLy9I4Jt =SfkL -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-project+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, email: opensuse-project+owner@opensuse.org
