That’s a tricky time (1:30am here), but I should be able to make it. I put it on my calendar so will let you know if I can’t make it. I would be a good test case for translation since I only know a little french and likely can’t follow a technical discussion in anything but english.
My main project is C4Social. A key insight driving that project is that it should be as easy as possible to contribute to a project, even if it’s a bit messier than the usual review-intensive process. We’re testing that idea by forking some big projects: Mastodon and Diaspora. It’s a little crazy but working so far. The main need there is for more maintainers. We have our own definition of maintainer which is much simpler than usual.
Some folks will apply a label like “goodfirstissue” to some issues or simply point out gaps in the project that are ready to be filled. I’ve found it helpful to think like a new user, a new admin and new contributor to be sure there’s something for each of them at project entrypoints.
