I mailed the list about this yesterday, but as a reply to another<br>
email [1], so maybe it got lost: could we add a "beginner" keyword to<br>
LLVM Bugzilla, so that contributors could classify bugs as relatively<br>
simple to fix?<br>
<br>
LLVM Bugzilla has keywords like "code-cleanup" and "code-quality",<br>
which describe the nature of the PR [2]. I think a "beginner" keyword<br>
would be a good addition for people who wish to contribute to LLVM,<br>
but don't know where to begin.<br>
<br>
Anecdotally, I found it very easy to contribute to Apple's Swift<br>
project, thanks to the fact that their JIRA instance at <a href="http://bugs.swift.org" rel="noreferrer" target="_blank">bugs.swift.org</a><br>
has a "StarterBug" label. Not all of the bugs labeled this way were as<br>
easy as the reporter claimed, but it did help me avoid working on<br>
impenetrable problems.<br>
<br>
I would be happy to add the "beginner" keyword myself, but I don't<br>
have the permissions to add keywords to Bugzilla. Can someone help me<br>
add it? Or does anyone have thoughts on why we shouldn't add this<br>
keyword?<br>
<br>
Thanks!<br>
