There are a few labels in particular that are very useful if you are new to Zen:
- The suitable for beginners label marks anything considered easy enough for a first time contributor.
- The request for comments label is great for non-coders or people wishing to get familiar with the system. These are often features we are not sure if we want to produce yet, or issues that require clearer implementation guidelines.
- The hints provided label is attached to anything which has been given a technical spec by someone on the development team.
- Ideally all of the bugs are the most important issues to fix. They are categorised by priority.
- There is a critical bugs milestone for the most important bugs.
- Some bugs are smaller CSS issues that are marked low priority and so are not as important to work on.
Once you're familiar with the codebase, there are a number of labels/milestones to guide you through our roadmap.
- Our top priority label is for features which are the most important
- For immediate issues, there is a section for Q4 2015
- Issues are sorted by other priority levels, low, normal and high
- We also have a short term roadmap and long term roadmap
- Comment on it and let us know so we don't duplicate any effort.
- We can add you to the official CoderDojo development team so you can assign yourself issues.
- Tag @tangentfairy if you have any questions
- The CoderDojo Foundation Technical Lead is available to help you get set up.
- We can add you to the Foundation Slack community for daily communications. Please get in touch to be added!
- To get in touch, email us at [email protected]
- To deploy a change, you'll need to get in touch as only those with commit access can do so.
- Have a read through closed pull requests in the frontend repository to get a feel for what we have been working on.
