About EasyFix

• Easyfix encompasses easy-to-fix, self-contained and well-documented issues on repositories maintained by the community.
• The issues listed here give a starting point to new contributors who wish to have a more practical experience in contributing.

Target Users

• Folks who are new to Fedora, looking to contribute, want to find something to work on.
• Team leadership/mentors wanting their easyfix items to be visible on this site and to be able to support new contributors joining up.

Page wise Analysis:

On a scale of 1-5

5 - Very severe

4 - Quite severe

3 - Important enough

2 - could be worked on

1 - see if it is really a problem/ not that important

New page idea

For maintainers:

• list of easyfix tickets that new contributors have taken on, so the mentor can see a list of new contributors and check in on their progress, make sure if they need help or not.
• Could edit the “about” of projects, may be add a bio about themselves

Additions to website

• Contributor’s guide – a new contributors guide so we know how to use the website, a guide to explain, what is fedora hosted, why are they different? How do I use them, how do I get a account on them?
• A statement saying all the projects are Open Let the contributors know all tickets here are open and they can contribute freely, it’s an environment for them and they are welcome
• Emphasize communication - maybe a link to the Fedora communication guide so they can figure out per project the best way to reach out
• Better help and documentation – Have an FAQ, maybe with a form to submit a question about EasyFix or contributing to fedora, and get it answered on ask fedora

Overall suggestions to engage users:

• Graphics
• Mapping skillset to work - upfront what skillsets can be displayed
• Explicitly list out what you get from participating: a chance to test out your skills, a connection with other people who interested in tech / group membership, a chance to make a positive difference and help people
• Need description of what each individual project is (for example, what is avocado project??!)
