It's almost here! March 6th begins the contribution period for your projects. Please check on your projects 'Starter Tasks'. The "Starter Tasks" allow you to get to know and select a good fit applicant. It also lets the applicants get to know your project, and you all, as mentors. Please check your project view [1] and define a couple of starter tasks as needed. It may be helpful to toggle between editing your project forms, and then view the result here. [1] This allows you to see how the community info flows into the project info in the final view. FYI: I recently updated the community info. It is perfectly fine to update the starter tasks during the contribution period. You might change tasks based on how they are working out. Note that applicants will likely be busy with their community-wide contributions for the first 2 weeks and not give projects much attention. In the 'Define-a-project' page [2] it says: "You should have around 10-20 small newcomer tasks and 5-10 medium-sized tasks." You are not responsible for defining that much, because the Linux Kernel community, has already defined starter tasks called "Cleanup Patches" as a community-wide contribution. Samples of past project tasks: setup/run a project specific tool and share output; review a topic area and write a blog post; and sometimes actually submit a patch to the project. Mentors are welcome to include a pointer to a personal page where tasks are defined. Please don't make the first starter task 'email me for starter tasks'.
