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.

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.
