Outreachy Winter 2019

Outreachy Winter 2019

[Karina Saucedo]

Hello, my name is Karina and I'm and Outreachy applicant.
I´m interested in applying to the project 'Add did you mean hints´ and
I was wondering how can I start contributing since there seem to be no
issues on the github page. Thank you!

Thank you for your introduction email and for your interest in Git!

Emily posted some interesting information on the Git mailing list that
you can see in the archives there:

https://public-inbox.org/git/20191007203654.GA20450@google.com/

We require Outreachy (and GSoC) applicants to work on a microproject
before they can be selected. There are microproject suggestions in
Emily's email and the following discussions.

Unfortunately we only have a web page that we prepared for the last
Google Summer of Code:

https://git.github.io/SoC-2019-Microprojects/

So it might not be up to date but you can still find interesting
information on top of what Emily posted.

Don't hesitate to ask if you have any further questions.

Best,
Christian.

Hi Karina!

It's best to start on a microproject; some of the other applicants are
already doing so as well. You can search this list for "outreachy" (try
it from public-inbox.org/git) to see some of the discussions with other
applicants and what they are or are not working on; there are also some
good-first-issues in the GitGitGadget bug tracker
(github.com/gitgitgadget/git/issues). Git project doesn't use Github to
organize bugs itself; the bug trackers are all abstractions of
conversation on the list (such as this one -
https://public-inbox.org/git/20190916184208.GB17913@google.com/ -
explaining some possible Outreachy microprojects).

Thanks and good luck - I'm the mentor for "Did you mean" so you can feel
free to ask me directly if there's something you're not sure of and you
don't want to ask the list. :) Although, of course the list will be
happy to answer your questions as well.
