Proposal for creating github spellcheck bot.
by Chen KunYu 02 Sep '19

02 Sep '19

Hi, Recently, tirkarthi (xtreak) works on finding and fixing typos. And I (18z) came up with the idea of creating a spellcheck bot to improve the quality of cpython. We had discussion in https://github.com/python/cpython/pull/13749 And it is summarized below: Consensus: - Reducing typo in a constructive way. To be Solved: - Even after reducing the code checked, there will still be mostly false positives. - High frequency of updating dictionary.txt (false positive typo). Next Step: - Interfacing the filter with aspell to get some numbers. MISC: - The report could be made optional with a spellcheck label. - Code for reducing .py files to strings and comments. - Command line for spellcheck. There are problems to be solved. But I think we can always find a better solution. So, I’ll be working on interfacing the filter with aspell to get some numbers. Looking forward to hearing more opinions. :D Thanks KunYuChen (18z)

See the thread 'The trouble with "Easy" issues' in core-mentorship(a)python.org. Essentially those "easy" issues aren't so easy, and we're starting over. (That list requires subscription before you can read it, but any core dev should be able to get a subscription.)

🍝 New keyword in bpo: `newcomer friendly`
by Mariatta 26 Jul '19

🍝 copy-pasta from core-mentorship mailing list. There is now a “newcomer friendly” keyword in bpo. My hope is that going forward, we can tag issues that are suitable for first time contributors with this keyword. It would be great for experienced contributors already familiar with our workflow to not work on issues tagged with newcomer friendly and leave that to new contributors. I’ve added the keyword to Devguide’s Triaging section, with additional guideline of what can be tagged as newcomer friendly. Typically it should be straightforward, well-defined issue, and low-risk. https://devguide.python.org/triaging.html#keywords Thanks. ᐧ
