I see @FridaTveit doing her level best to identify and scope "good first patch" issues! Having such a backlog is an invitation for others to contribute. Today's contributors can become tomorrow's fellow maintainers. 👍 |

In terms of measuring the impact of our changes; I can't think of many good ways to do that that don't require website changes, which doesn't seem to be a fruitful area to be exploring at the minute :P |
Love all of that, @stkent! I also wonder, while we're making the track sweep, if we'll also want to toss in some more hints, references, and other resources along the way... some candy along the trail? In terms of impact, we currently have this: http://exercism.io/stats/java. The chart currently reflects the reordering but should return to a more smooth drop-off of submissions. We can look for steep drop offs and explore if there's something about that exercise that might be deterring folks. I also created an Exercism Team with us in it (you should have gotten an invite, please let me know if you haven't)... making it easier to see our collective activity on the site, itself. |
Neat stats page! Worth revisiting in a week or a month, once those graphs reflect the ordering? We can perhaps compare drop-off rates before/after the reordering to see if there was a significant impact. I see I am in the new admins team, but again, wasn't notified! I can't see anything wonky in my Settings 😐 |
Re: comparing drop-off rates re: team membership |
Hah, oops, I saw and just now accepted the invite on Exercism.io. My bad! |
This issue has been automatically marked as stale because it has not had recent activity. It will be closed if no further activity occurs. Thank you for your contributions. |
@exercism/java: Thoughts? Questions? |
When I look back at the goals I posited, it would seem that we're making good progress towards them; the only one we haven't worked on as much is exercise standardization and comparison to the current canonical data! I'm also wary of batch-creating issues for all that work though, since they are highly likely to become stale. |
Agreed. I wonder if you've identified another kind of issue we want the probot to ignore. But what to call that label... ? Some adjustments might actually be "good first patch" if they are simple enough. If one is more involved, perhaps we've identified another sort of backlog. A kind of "intermediate" that once you've done a "good first" or three, we'd encourage you to look at this list for your next submission? "good second patch"? :) |
The originating question of this issue was answered. #555 is covering the question around configuring probot. |
With #142 we took a big step in making this track more approachable.... or did we?
This question-issue is an invitation to pause and reflect on the (honestly, great) work we're doing and making sure we have a shared sense of direction...
Grab one of these questions (or add your own) and explore out loud in this issue:
