Plots2: Request & make "first-timer-only" issues for newcomers

Created on 26 Jan 2021  ·  119Comments  ·  Source: publiclab/plots2

(This issue is in continuation of #7683 )

Hi everyone!

We, at Public Lab, are known for welcoming new contributors into the Open Source world but a number of times, newcomers were not able to find first-timers-only issues to start their journey or face troubles making their first contribution with us.

Reasons being:

Lack of first-timers-only issues
Struggle in finding the good issue to start and lack of enough support?
We are working on both of the above aspects to support and help the maximum number of people to take their first step in their OSS journey with us, through our various projects but we need more support for this. So, this is a call to all the Public Lab members to try and create a first-timers-issue for someone who wants to start their journey and waiting for an FTO being assigned to them.

If you are a Outreachy or GSoC applicant please mention below as we will be giving these applicants priority in the next couple of weeks

If you are interested in creating first-timers-only issue, follow these instructions:

Browse through the publiclab.org and see if there's a bug which can be easily solved
Solve this issue but don't create a PR this time, instead create a FTO issue
Click on this link to start creating a new issue
We follow a specific template for FTO issues, so copy the template from here
Edit the issue body to add the goal of the issue, code snippet required, file to be updated, add screenshots(if required). Don't add code snippet required to solve in case, the issue just requires minor HTML or CSS change or equivalent.
Add a catchy and relevant title to the issue but don't include "FTO" , "first-timers-only" or equivalent in title
Get the issue you just created labeled by mentioning @publiclab/reviewers or @publiclab/plots2-reviewers.
If you have labeling privileges, feel free to do so yourself but ensure that you have used FTO template.
If you are not able to mention the above-mentioned teams, and doesn't have labeling privileges, then drop a line in Gitter channel - https://gitter.im/publiclab/publiclab or mention @jywarren @cesswairimu @emilyashley @SidharthBansal and any one of us will surely follow-up with you. You can also mention any other member, you can think of with labeling privileges.
It's time to invite a new contributor to your issue. If there are unchecked names in the below list, then those people are still looking for FTO issue to start with, so mention them in your FTO by writing - This issue is created for @[contributor-name]. Thanks!
Also, if you see, a new contributor is looking for an issue, feel free to point them to your FTO

Sorry about that @Aokison, added you. Thanks

Hi guys, I was wondering how do I contribute more, now that I've dipped my toes?
Should I contribute more to the first-timers issues or are there other tasks that I can pick up?

hi @lonwabo-mnyaiza, the next step would be to browse through the help-wanted issues and leave a comment on anything that interests you, rem to check if anyone is working on the issue(you can tell this but reading through the comments) if its been a while since the contributor made an update feel free to ask them if there are still working on the issue. We would love your help on these. thanks

@Nassimprog you can claim this one https://github.com/publiclab/plots2/issues/9780
