I'll be running a hackathon tomorrow at Community-over-Code with Nazerke. I'll be sharing the "good first issue" issues as a potential list of items for new contributors: https://github.com/apache/lucene/issues?q=is%3Aissue%20state%3Aopen%20label%3A%22good%20first%20issue%22 (only 9 issues as I write this)
You can help our project & contributors & hackathon simply by doing a little label grooming. If you created an issue recently and think it's a "good first issue" for a contributor then add it! Come to think of it, maybe even some bugs might be such. Or maybe something on your mind hasn't been filed yet; please do! ~ David Smiley Apache Lucene/Solr Search Developer http://www.linkedin.com/in/davidwsmiley
