Hello! I love to see as we asking our users to be more involved with our project.
I would like to add the label "Contributor" or "Beginner" (or something similar) to issues which are easy to be resolve (by interested users/customers). We should not fix these issues so soon (unless it's an urgent fix) to get the users/customers the chance to pick them up, adding a comment that other knows they are working on this issue and providing a patch for it. I could create a view in JIRA which lists all open issues with this label and add a link from the contributing page [1] to this view. I think then it is much more easier for our users/customers to "being more in touch" with our project and evolve from a user to a contributor to ... I know what this is for a great feeling to see its own (first) patch committed, to add his name to the team page [2] later, ... What do you think?
