Hello Everyone,
We are starting the next step for the Ussuri Cycle Community Goals. We have four candidates till now as proposed in etherpad[1].
The first candidate is "Project Specific New Contributor & PTL Docs". Kendall (diablo_rojo) volunteered to lead this goal as Champion. Thanks to her for stepping up for this job.
This idea was brought up during Train cycle goal discussions also[2]. The idea here is to have a consistent and mandatory contributors guide in each project which will help new contributors to get onboard in upstream activities. Also, create PTL duties guide on the project's side. Few projects might have the PTL duties documented and making it consistent and for all projects is something easy for transferring the knowledge. Kendall can put up more details and highlights based on queries.
We would like to open this idea to get wider feedback from the community and projects team before we start defining the goal in Gerrit. What do you think of this as a community goal? Any query or Improvement Feedback?
I wrote what I call a "chronological PTL guide" for nova [3], which was originally a local google doc I had used while I was PTL. I converted and published it as an in-tree nova doc in case it would be helpful to others.
I think having a PTL guide doc is nice and could potentially make it easier for new or prospective PTLs to learn what is involved in the duties.
