Hi Otavio,
thanks for your thoughts.
Each of the components in Paho has a contribution guide in the
Github repo - I haven't checked to see how similar they are. If I
wrote a contribution guide for Paho as a whole, where should it
go? On the website prominently for sure, but many people may not
find out about Paho or go via the website.
There is the 'help needed' Github label for issues - I was
thinking of encouraging the use of that. But that doesn't
necessarily imply that it's good for new contributors. Maybe
another label is needed?

Hi Ian,
that was a good article! I think it raises some good
thoughts there: on one hand, being a committer must be taken
as a serious commitment to the project and to the community.
On the other hand, the projects need to encourage and nurture
the creation of a community for itself.
One thing that I wish projects would do more is to guide
better how newcomers can contribute. One thing that I always
find it challenging when I am contributing to projects is
finding the right issue/feature where to start. Sometimes, I
do it because I need that feature or fix ... Other times,
though, it's because I believe in that project and I want that
project to succeed.
So, one idea in this regard would be to categorize features
and bugs that are easy for new contributors. A contribution
guide for the project can be helpful too.
Hi Benjamin,
thanks for the idea. I'll think about updating the home page.
Ian
(P.S. I've fixed the links now!)
