H1 2017 Review

TODO

H2 2017 Priorities

Technical

  • Finish -betterC

Non-Technical

  • Make it easier for people to contribute (aka remove entry barriers)
    • add more tooling to help with initial problems (there are a few of ideas in the DLang-Bot queue, which should get deployed in the near future)
    • improve contributor documentation and getting started (should be done by people who haven't seen the DMD/Phobos setup & codebase)
    • encourage the "a fix is only a PR away" mentality (e.g. by means of blog post(s))
    • reduce barrier of entry for potential contributors (e.g. bugzilla/forums registration)
  • Increase motivation of existing contributors
    • avoid PRs being stalled in the review queue
    • increase interaction/communication between contributors. NG, mailing list, IRC, Slack
    • make it easy for contributors to adopt a small-scale project (e.g. approved functions to Phobos, ...)
    • promote the beginner/bootcamp Bugzilla tags (they are currently hard to find)
    • publish blog post(s) about a "success story" such as this one
    • create a positive, constructive, and professional environment
