Ansible is a very popular project by any metric. Our delightful community
contributes numerous Pull Requests (PRs) every month. Unfortunately, the
volume of incoming PRs means contributors often have to wait days, weeks,
or months for PRs to be merged. Sometimes it takes that long for a cursory
review. We want to change that.
The Core Team and Community at large is starting various initiatives under
the Contributor Experience umbrella. The idea is to help address some of
the causes that slow down quality PRs from being merged into Ansible
codebases.
We dedicate one day a month to doing a big community review. We hope you
can join in!
What we are trying to achieve:
-
To give potential new community members a place to learn and experiment
with Ansible's review process and get feedback
-
Improve the process and documentation by getting feedback from you
-
Feedback from people starting their journey with open source is
particularly important to us as it helps to identify and improve
complicated processes and documentation.
-
People that have been contributing for a while have already built up
this knowledge and have forgotten the "pain of getting started"
-
Give PRs some love
-
Identify PRs that could be merged or closed
