IMO the triaged bugs/low hanging fruit thing seems to be still daunting for new<br>
contributors. There's also not really much gratification or recognition for<br>
what you did by the wider community sometimes. This is something I feel that<br>
helps in having people come back to contribute.<br>
<br>
This is going on a tangent of something else I have coming in the future but<br>
I think there are a few ways a new contributor would come in:<br>
<br>
## PTG<br>
<br>
New contributors should be participating in the sessions for a project and<br>
get to know who are the people leading those efforts. People leading efforts<br>
want help. Whether it be documentation for the thing, implementation, testing,<br>
etc. Working with the people involved is a good way to get to know that feature<br>
or change. The people leading the effort are now invested in YOU succeeding<br>
because if you don't succeed, they don't either. Once you succeed in the<br>
feature or change with someone, you have recognition in people knowing you are<br>
responsible for it in some way. This is an awesome feeling and will lead you to<br>
either improving it more or going onto other things. While you're only<br>
understanding of a project is that thing, you may get curious and move onto<br>
other parts of the code. This leads to someone in the future leading efforts<br>
for new contributors!<br>
<br>
## Forum<br>
<br>
I would like to see our on-boarding rooms having time to introduce<br>
current/future efforts happening in the project. Introduce the people behind<br>
those efforts. Give a little time to break out into meet and greet to remember<br>
friendly faces and do as mentioned above.<br>
<br>
## Internet<br>
<br>
People may not be able to attend our events, but want to participate. Using<br>
your idea of listing work items of large blueprints is an excellent! It would<br>
be good if we could list those cleanly and who is leading it. Maybe Storyboard<br>
will be able to help with this in the future Kendall?<br>
