Hey, our EasyHacks are a nice way for new contributors to start working on LibreOffice and get a feeling for the code base. As we discussed in the ESC we are not doing a good job to help these people migrate from solving EasyHacks to doing normal LibreOffice development independently of a mentor.
The problem of not being able to help them means that some of them are stuck in working on EasyHacks for a long time. This creates several problems for us: * no new blood in the core developers * "experienced" developers solve tasks that need core developers as mentors * may interesting projects are never done To mitigate these issue I'm pleased to announce Core Hacks (ideas for a better name are appreciated), the missing step between Easy Hacks and core developers. A Core Hack is still a mentored task but requires more independent work from the developer. I have created a wiki page [1] where I currently list the ones that I know and where you can add your own ideas. I ask all developers to look out for people who have solved a few easy hacks already and who should maybe move on to the next step. Regards, Markus [1] https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/CoreHacks
