Description

@justwheel

Come up with 3-5 bugs or simpler tasks to work on across any MagicBox project; clearly label them as "good first issues" and leave them open for new contributors to try working on

How to do it

  1. Across core projects, come up with short list of small / quick improvements or fixes wanted, but not urgently needed
  2. File new issues / update existing ones to explain easier tasks
    • Explain the problem, clearly explain the deliverable / desired result
  3. Label these tasks clearly with a "good first issue" label
  4. Keep them open for new contributors or team members to work on (core / active contributors shouldn't take these tasks)

Why do it

When people come wanting to contribute, we need to help guide their first steps. Simple or "easyfix" tasks are great ways to introduce a new contributor to your project by giving them a small, manageable area to focus on or work. This supports a marginal improvement to your project, but also delivers purpose to someone navigating your code for the first time. These tasks get them more comfortable with the project and could edge someone towards contributing bigger things. But it's easier to start with a smaller piece first.
