[arch-dev-public] Improving overall experience for contributors follow up

[Jelle van der Waa]

Hi,

I still believe we should take some initiative on thse issues. What we
have so far is:

- Getting involved page, not sure where it's linked from? Only findable
  on the wiki. [1] Which links to a nice list of projects with an
  already dedicated irc channel and mailing lists. (I was not even aware
  of #archlinux-projects).
  But does anyone ever find this page? I think we should at least link
  it from archlinux.org.

- The mozilla idea, I'm up for it? Should we host it under
  whatcanidofor.archlinux.org? Note that this also requires some effort
  from the team's side. We should however keep our bugtracker tidy and
  maybe label "new contributor" tickets since this is quite crucial to
  get new people in. I however have also some thoughts on things which
  these days have no tickets, but could be worked on for example:

  - revamping the Ruby guidelines. They should be as nice as the Python
    ones
  - Hardening our custom systemd services and creating bugs with
    patches, for example grafana has hardening applied now. [5]
  - Man pages for more devtools binaries.

  I'm quite sure others others have such projects on their mind which
  are not publicly findable yet. (sogrep to devtools for example)

P.S. sorry for splitting up into a new thread, but it seems replying
makes spamassasian mark my reply to the thread as spam.
