Developers of Sympa

[David Verdin <address@concealed>]

Oh yes, in that case indeed I misunderstood. Actually, the idea behind this label is to pinpoint issues that can be easily resolved by people new to the project (especially new to the Sympa code).

OK, so that's a consensus: newcomer it is! I'll try to tag the super-easy issue from yesterday with it.

Best regards,

David

David, I don’t stick to [newbie].

I probably misunderstood: I supposed this label is added by the user by their own.  If it is not, [newcomer] is better.

OK, I also prefer "newcomers". This designates people new to the project, but not necessarily new developers or even new to Sympa.

Soji, I feel that "newbie" is more or less the same as newcomer, so I would favour newcomer for it being a little bit more formal.

If nobody complains, I suggest we adopt this term by the end of the - European - day. I think Soji must not be far from going to dinner, am I wrong?

Cheers!

I agree with "Beginner suitable". It's self-explanatory and could be
documtented to spread the word to would-be contributors: "Try to fix a
'beginner suitable' issue first."

I feel [newbie] is good, because it may have effect to lower a
threashold againt joining newcomers.

However, I think one of purpose of labels is accumulating knowledge,
such as way of configuration in particular use case.  By this point,
it seems not matter whether submitter is newbie or not.

I have been using [question] label for this purpose, but feel not
fitting best.


On this occasion I'll write about some other labels.

- [design]: Created by ikedas
    On design (not logo design), often including external or
    internal changes of features.
    Since such issues tend to lead relatively long discussion and
    trials, I have been adding it for monitoring and reminder.

- [security]: Created by racke
    The issue that implies security impact. It looks not limited to
    direct impact to Sympa (e.g. issue #78).

I also use labels to compile Release Notes (NEWS.md) as following:

- [bug]
    If closed, appears on "Fixed bugs" section in NEWS.md.
- [design]
    (By now, there are no closed tickets tagged only by this label)
- [duplicate]
    Won't appear in NEWS.md.
- [enhancement]
    If closed, appears on "Implemented enhancements" section in NEWS.md.
- [help wanted]

- [invalid]
    Won't appear in NEWS.md.
- [question]
    If closed, appears on "Closed issues" section in NEWS.md.
- [security]
    If closed, appears on "Fixed bugs" section in NEWS.md.
- [wontfix]
    Won't appear in NEWS.md, in most cases.

I don't label PRs linking to some issue; individual PR is labeled.

Tickets without labels have to be put in appropriate section by
hand. That's why I eagerly label the tickets.

Alexandre Franke, I'm grad to see you involved.

Hello,

we are wondering which label to use for easy issues suitable for beginners.

IMHO "help wanted" is ambigious, because it could also mean that we don't have the necessary knowhow
for that problem.

I like "Beginner suitable", which we use on the Dancer2 Git repository.
