Re: tagging issues, we should probably just ask clojure library authors to add their projects to OpenHatch's issue indexers. They have them for Github issues and JIRA, which covers clojure/core (JIRA) and *most* current open source libs (Github). That way, each individual project maintainer could choose the tags they want to signify "newcomer" (if I'm reading OpenHatch's docs correctly).
Re: CodeAcademy-type sites, I think this might take a little work: CodeAcademy translates exceptions *or incorrect answers* into beginner-readable suggestions. Considering they do this even for non-"code blows up" errors, they must make a list of common mistakes and the output generated by those mistakes (which to do correctly would require lots of user testing). --Leif On Saturday, January 25, 2014 1:54:10 PM UTC-5, Bridget wrote: > > OpenHatch has this great > initiative<https://openhatch.org/wiki/Bug_trackers>for encouraging newcomers > to get involved with open source projects.
