Tag easy issues with "hacktoberfest" #3215

Open alaviss opened 5 years ago

alaviss commented 5 years ago

In spirit of Hacktoberfest 2018 (yes, I know it has been halfway through October, sorry :P), we should label easy issues with hacktoberfest to attract more contributors.

If possible, we should also provide some tips in those issues on how to solve them :)

I don't like using a specific event name for this. They should rather be tagged "easy" or something. And we can use the same list for gci

scottmc commented 5 years ago

A compromise... I've renamed the task tag to "task - hacktoberfest". We can rename it back when GCI starts. Feel free to hack away on them for the next few days. Also search thru pending pull requests, especially if you were the one who opened it, and try to get them wrapped up soon.

KapiX commented 5 years ago

This defeats the point though; Hacktoberfest site has a link to search which looks for "hacktoberfest" and won't show issues tagged as "task - hacktoberfest".

scottmc commented 5 years ago

Ok. Renamed it for now and can change it back later.

I'm not sure how "Hacktoberfest" sets the links to easy tasks, wouldn't it be good to sum up some things here in a list that we could refer to?

Begasus commented 3 years ago

One of the things I'm thinking of is updating outdated versions mentioned at Repology, some can be easy, some may need some more work ... EDIT we had some lists from GCI in the past that we could carry over to next years challenge, summing them up here (for instance in 'Hacktoberfest 2021' for this year that we could bring over to next year for not finished tasks?

The instructions are at https://hacktoberfest.digitalocean.com/resources/maintainers

Add the 'hacktoberfest' topic to your repository/project so that folks know you're participating in Hacktoberfest. Apply the 'Hacktoberfest' label to issues in your GitHub or GitLab project that are ready for contributors to work on.

And there are a few other things to do: link to the code of conduct, make sure we have a "contributing.md" file, etc
