Hi, this is a first-timers-only issue. This means we've worked to make it more legible to folks who either haven't contributed to our codebase before, or even folks who haven't contributed to open source before.

If that's you, we're interested in helping you take the first step and can answer questions and help you out as you do. Note that we're especially interested in contributions from people from groups underrepresented in free and open source software!

We know that the process of creating a pull request is the biggest barrier for new contributors. This issue is for you πŸ’

If you have contributed before, consider leaving this one for someone new and looking through our general help wanted issues. Thanks!

πŸ€” What you will need to know.

Nothing. This issue is meant to welcome you to Open Source :) We are happy to walk you through the process.

πŸ“‹ Step by Step

πŸ’‘ Learn how to claim πŸ™‹ ### Claiming an issue Unless the issue is marked as reserved for someone, you can just say "I'd like to try this!" and then you've claimed it - no need to wait for someone to assign it to you. Just be sure you link your pull request (PR) to this issue so we can see where your solution is. And open one early if possible - even before you've completed it with additional commits - and others can help you figure out any issues you may face.

See this page for some help in taking your first steps!

Please keep us updated

πŸ’¬β° - We encourage contributors to be respectful to the community and provide an update within a week of claiming a first-timers-only issue. We're happy to keep it assigned to you as long as you need if you update us with a request for more time or help, but if we don't see any activity a week after you claim it we may reassign it to give someone else a chance. Thank you in advance!

If this happens to you, don't sweat it! Grab another open issue.

Is someone else already working on this?

πŸ”—- We encourage contributors to link to the original issue in their pull request so all users can easily see if someone's already started on it.

πŸ‘₯- If someone seems stuck, offer them some help! Otherwise, take a look at some other issues you can help with. Thanks!

Hello @TildaDares, @cesswairimu, @jywarren. So I noticed a slight redirection error on the community-toolbox website and created this FTO issue using the provided template.

Can I go ahead to work on it? Thank you!

TildaDares commented 2 years ago

This is perfect @PeculiarE. Thank you!!

TildaDares commented 2 years ago

Usually, FTOs are created for other people but you can go ahead and work on it. Thanks!

PeculiarE commented 2 years ago

Thank you, Tilda. Will create a PR shortly.

So yeah, I wanted to test out how to use the FTO template because I intend creating a couple of FTO issues for other contributors.
