Hello everyone, I'm writing to provide feedback on your help wanted listing, specifically:
http://www.teachingopensource.org/index.php/Help_Wanted:_Metalink You folks have a truly excellent project description section. This is where many folks have trouble, but yours is great. In the mentor capacity section, you have not indicated whether you are interested in doing in person mentoring. If you are willing to do so, please consider listing where folks who are willing to mentor in person are (city, state/province, country) so that folks who are looking for live mentors know immediately if you'll be able to help them. Your ideas list is the same as your bounties list. Are you OK with that? If you are looking for mentees, offering them cash may not be the best way to attract folks who want to contribute to your project long term. You also may want to add a few more links to documentation that would be helpful for beginners. The links to issue trackers, blog posts, etc. give more detail about the problem, but not where one would start to get more knowledge about how to solve the problem. (e.g. where would one go to learn more about libxml2 as required for the Google Chrome support idea). Other than these nits, your listing looks very good to me. I'd like to organize an IRC meeting for the folks who have signed up on the teachingopensource.org FOSS Mentor Projects wiki page, and plan to organize the meeting time, etc., on the teachingopensource.org mailing list. Would whomever from your team is interested in attending please ensure that you're signed up on this mailing list? It's pretty low traffic and I will prefix all messages with [MENTORS] in the subject line so you can further filter your mail. http://teachingopensource.org/mailman/listinfo/tos I'm hoping to schedule this meeting to take place the week of April 20th so this should give you some time to subscribe. Looking forward to working with you folks!
