10 sats \ 3 replies \ @UCantDoThatDotRugged 4 Mar \ on: Draft of SN Open Source Contribution Award Rules meta
Please delineate the difference between 'interesting issue idea from someone who can't code that we're glad to see' and 'annoying clutter on our github from noob weirdo.' Or is that the difference between 0% and 1%?

Yeah weirdo clutter is 100% worth 0%. The issue rules were some of the hardest to spec out, second only to helpfulness ones. I'm hoping I can come up with something better over time ... I was just enumerating all the tasks that I and ek have to do otherwise and want to make sure people feel like doing those things are worth it.

OK. I have a ton of small ideas and don't understand Github. Should I just put them all together into a ~meta post, learn github issues and try to figure out when and how to spec it out properly, or continue spamming it into the telegram one idea at a time when I think of it? Really do want to help, but also will have some off the wall brainstorm ideas that might be interesting to think of, or a starting off point for coming up with something more workable (but not so much a practical GitHub issue probably, IIUC), from time to time.
Also, what of those who might want to help ELI5 stuff from nerdspeak -> noobspeak?

I'd brainstorm in ~meta with other stackers, then when you have a very clear idea of something you think would be cool, describe it as best you can in a gh issue.
