My experience with the (in-progress) PR has not been too confusing: I actually quite like the back-and-forth discussion and wonder how that would have worked if only one person were reviewing the commit. i.e. Would that person be the point-of-correspondence for others in the community and/or be responsible for making sure that other people were on-board with the change? Would we compile a dedicated list of people willing to review student PRs and rotate through them? If we could agree on a procedure for doing so, I could see it working out well for the future. </div><div>For me though, I do like the current workflow and don't find it too difficult to follow. </div></div><div class="gmail_extra"><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Thu, Sep 15, 2016 at 8:39 PM, Ronnie Ghose <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:ronnie.ghose@gmail.com" target="_blank">ronnie.ghose@gmail.com</a>></span> wrote:<br><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex"><div dir="ltr">@kathy yay :) -- is Murphy not doing Open Academy anymore?<div class="gmail_extra"><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Thu, Sep 15, 2016 at 8:32 PM, Nelle Varoquaux <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:nelle.varoquaux@gmail.com" target="_blank">nelle.varoquaux@gmail.com</a>></span> wrote:<br><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex"><span>On 15 September 2016 at 14:41, Andreas Mueller <<a href="mailto:t3kcit@gmail.com" target="_blank">t3kcit@gmail.com</a>> wrote:<br>

</span>This really cool!<br>
Just my two cents, as I am wrapping up having students contributing<br>
to a large opensource software: it might be a good idea to create a<br>
explicit tag for those PR/students and have at first one person and<br>
only one person reviewing it. Our students were quite confused with<br>
the amount of messages and the number of interlocutors on their PRs.<br>
<br>
I am participating this semester on an initiative to have students<br>
contribute to opensource software with Stéfan van der Walt - I'd be<br>
curious to share tips on how it well, what to do and what to avoid.<br>
<br>
Cheers,<br>
