Rename "up-for-grabs" as "good first issue" #936

Open david-a-wheeler opened 6 years ago

david-a-wheeler commented 6 years ago

GitHub now helps "potential first-time contributors discover issues labeled with help wanted or good first issue".

Perhaps we should rename "up-for-grabs" as "good first issue". Also, should we note that in our criterion details?

jdossett commented 6 years ago

We already have a label, "help wanted" that was created by GitHub, perhaps use that?

david-a-wheeler commented 6 years ago

I used "up-for-grabs" to label changes that would be especially easy for first-time contributors, as recommended by: http://up-for-grabs.net/.

What's changed is that GitHub recently made this change:

Now, GitHub will help potential first-time contributors discover issues labeled with 'help wanted' or 'good first issue'

I can't find formal documentation for it, but it was noted here.

I think "good first issue" better maps to the original name.

jdossett commented 6 years ago

As @david-a-wheeler stated our naming comes from http://up-for-grabs.net.

Github has a collection (blog-like post) talking about getting started in open source that specifically mentions this site. I think we should stay with what we have.

david-a-wheeler commented 6 years ago

It looks like GitHub is proposing this "new" convention, but it's new, so we don't know what the take-up will be.

So - let's just leave this Issue open for now. If after a while there's little pickup, we'll just close this. If after a while everyone is switching to "good first issue", then we'll switch.
