Re: Tasks list and scheduling

[Eric Kerby <eric@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

So, let me ask this a different way...are there any resources on the wiki or elsewhere that a potential contributor would be advised to read?  It seems to me that the whole CLA signing, FAS account registration, group addition request process for becoming a contributor is less inhibiting than actually learning what the team(s) need help with and how to pursue giving such help.

That's something that may need addressing for the future...but in the meantime, I'm more interested in getting myself started.

Would a page like http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Websites/CVS be good to read, or is it too outdated (since it still references fedora.redhat.com).  Any help?

Has any decision been made on creating a dedicated Tasks page at somewhere like http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Websites/Tasks ?  It certainly would help someone new, like me, get an idea of where he or she can help :)

I think Karsten's suggestions to take the tasks off the Schedule page and organize things along similar lines as http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/DocsProject/Tasks#HowToTakeATask describes is a good idea.

Also, as I said before, I may need to become more familiar with the ways the team commits changes to files, how the CVS system works, who has access/responsibility over what, and other such things before I am truly useful to the team.  Where would be a good place to start on learning such things?

Thanks,
