At RustConf, we collected projects that are looking for contributions and have introductory tickets. We need to transform these into a living document to route those people that want to get more engaged with our ecosystem.

(list snipped since the @rjgoldsborough did it better below)

TODO: Figure out what to do with this list.

Clippy has tons of easy bugs!

I assume this will extend https://www.rust-lang.org/en-US/contribute.html ? There's a list at https://www.rust-lang.org/en-US/contribute-libs.html which we can make more awesome.

@rjgoldsborough Your linkerizing appears to have failed.

ducks commented 8 years ago

Whoops. Fixed em. A few still 404 but think the repo/bitly link might have been removed in those cases.

Thinking about this in the context of the [Increasing Rust's Reach]() program -- we've had ~350 applicants and only space for ~10 😰 I'd love to send the people we don't have space for to a resource where they can find other folks and other projects who might be looking for help/input.

I was kind of thinking of a mailing list where people looking for projects and people looking for contributors could post to find each other; a mailing list has a lower activation hurdle for people than to send a PR to get listed on a website in an impersonal manner, and the recent information is more likely to be valid rather than stale, but it potentially introduces more of a moderation cost.

WDYT?

skade commented 7 years ago

Phew, I've got at least 10 project ideas where I'd like some helping hands, so yep. Not sure if a mailing list is the thing I want... Maybe a discourse?

I'd also be interested in skills matching, but that's - well, a very fuzzy subject.

Maybe this is a good subject for a workshop (which doesn't have to be long, I'm thinking 30 -60 minutes)

What about, in addition to an asychronous message board type thing (I think a topic on URLO would probably be the fastest thing to get started right now), we have synchronous IRC meetings about once a month, where someone who runs a project brings a bunch of curated e-easy/e-mentor issues, explains the project, answers questions about getting set up, and helps people choose/get started on issues?

OR what about RUST newbie hour? A volunteer newbie and a volunteer Rust person pair for an hour and screencast it.

OR WHY NOT BOTH

skade commented 7 years ago

I'm in general pro "throw it at the wall and see what sticks", as long as we can muster enough people. :)

Different people love different approaches better.

dvigneshwer commented 7 years ago

It will be great to see a website like https://whatcanidoformozilla.org/ for Rust projects, where people can easily choose the project that they want to get involved with based on some skill level and filters.
