No one pushed back on the 19th as a bug day, so I'm going to go ahead and send out announcements this evening. We should mark issues in the tracker that are good candidates for new developers. How do we want to do this? We could add a new keyword ('beginner', 'bugday', ???) or add a prefix to the subject line. Does Roundup search also look at the text of the change notes added to a bug? If yes, then just adding a comment with the magic keyword would be sufficient. --amk

Yes, it does. Unfortunately, I've been using "bug day" in some comments and that doesn't seem to work well in the search. I think a keyword is easier, I can add it if you want me to. -- --Guido van Rossum (home page: http://www.python.org/~guido/)

Please add two keywords, one for bug day and one for easy tasks. May "beginner task", "easy" or "novice level" makes a good keyword. We could also mark complex/hard tasks, tasks which require C programming and documentation only tasks, even though I'm not sure how useful the additional tags would be. Christian

I think marking easy tasks is all we need. That would certainly be useful during ongoing non-bugday development, but marking issues as 'bug-day' doesn't seem useful to me. What would it mean?

Shouldn't documentation-only bugs be marked as being for the 'Documentation' component? The C vs. Python requirement is also discoverable from the component field, sort of; Library is for issues in Lib/, which is all Python, and C extensions are the 'Extension Modules' component. --amk
I've added an "easy" keyword, with description "This is an easy task
(e.g. suitable for GHOP or bug day beginners)".
Let me know if more is needed, Andrew.
(I have no idea if anyone can add keywords or if I have magical
powers. On the left side bar there's a section "Administration" which
contains a link "Edit Keywords".)

I'm unable to add new keywords although I've the developer role. I guess one needs to be a coordinator to add new keywords. Christian

Thanks! I've run searches for a few different components and marked a few bugs with the 'easy' keyword; I see that Tiran is doing this, too.

I have that link, too. --amk
