In an effort to foster community by encouraging first-time contributors - or at least removing barriers for anyone interested in trying - we produced a contributor guide that, ideally, combined with support from project principals, will help people get started.
Along with the contributor guide, we produced a contributor bill of rights to communicate and enshrine the expectations that contributors and stewards should have, and to reinforce the character of the Eventide community.
Eventide Contributor Bill of Rights
Leveraging the contributor-assets tools, we standardized every repository's issue labels to the same set of labels. We published a description of each each label in effort to clarify the mechanics of the project's contributor and project principal workflow.
We have done a first pass over the work items in-queue, assigning labels, and prioritizing them.
We will start working through the items this week.
We got an open source license for ZenHub in order to allow principals to organize work items into staged queues.
We will review the queues this week.
