I've adjusted the query on https://issues.apache.org/bloodhound/wiki/BloodhoundContributing - I'm happy to adjust it again if necessary. The two enhancements are:

 * specify that owner should be nobody
     o this appears to be the simplest and most reliable way to make
       sure that the set is only unclaimed tickets although it does
       require that we don't assign to a blank owner
 * change count=5 to max=5
     o the count argument appears to be for something else (although I
       am not convinced that functionality works)


This is implemented through the following change:

   -[[TicketQuery(table, ?status=!closed&keywords=~starter, count=5)]]
   +[[TicketQuery(table, ?status=!closed&keywords=~starter&owner=nobody, 
max=5)]]

I would try to offer the result with no further judgement but I don't think the pagination is quite what we are after here.

Cheers,
    Gary

I went ahead and tagged the #119, #18, #95, #154 and #123 as starter tickets. 
I've also added a table dynamically displaying 5 starter tickets to the top of 
the BloodhoundContributing page:
https://issues.apache.org/bloodhound/wiki/BloodhoundContributing

Hope that helps as a starting point. Happy for others to extend it. Gary for 
example suggested off-list to me that tickets that are assigned to someone 
other than 'nobody' or accepted should be excluded, certainly a valid 
suggestion.

Well , I already added «starter» keyword in #203 ... feel free to
change it if appropriate . In the end any word is fine to me , as long
as its use becomes well-known and consistent across all the project .

Subversion uses a keyword ("bitesize") to mark small and/or simple tasks
in the issue tracker. Sadly, that issue tracker doesn't allow workflow
customization.

oh !
ok . I recall we also had another previous conversation about this too
, that's why I suggested doing so .

Definitely workflow states are much more needed , so I think I prefer
keyword + workflow approach too .

This overlaps with two conversations we've had recently on the mailing
list:

1. Adding an appropriate tag to 'starter' tickets
2. Providing appropriate ticket states, like 'awaiting review / to be
reviewed' rather than 'open' for the tickets you refer to in your PS.

I prefer those two approaches personally.

It's just a suggestion . What do you think ?

Towards a more generic discussion I'd point out that maybe we should
have a custom field like «difficulty» highlighting prior expectations
of the skills needed to complete a task / close a ticket . A query
like difficulty=low|moderate could be used to find all such tickets
... and maybe even a link could be added in BloodhoundContribute as
well ;)

Of course , that should be setup starting from release 3 ... release 2
is almost done ;)

PS: Many things can be learned by reviewing patches submitted to the
isssue tracker as well . Most of the tickets assigned to user olemis
will have some . Those scheduled for Release 2 have been baked
«recently» ;)
