There’s a discussion on a FOSS list, initiated (this time) by Stefano Z. of Debian, about compiling a cross-project list of “easy hacks”. What’s easy is in the eye of the beholder, to be sure, but also in the gaze of the community. We’ve periodically come up with some things that inexperienced members can try doing—and these need not be coding hacks. Some projects—probably the majority—start their new members off by encouraging them (or mandating) to do work on bus, outstanding issues, etc. But even for these, there are levels of difficulty.
The compilation could be located any number of places, even at OpenHatch.org. Stefano started off the discussion with a short list (see below) and more has been added to it. But what do we have for OpenOffice? (You’ll not that Stefano includes LibreOffice.)
