 emily | have had thoughts about splitting the checklist into "things relevant for every PR" / "things new contributors should look at" | 21:01:07 |
| emily | and hooking automated triage off that | 21:01:14 |
| emily | tbh we could probably drop a few of the extraneous checklist items | 21:01:36 |
| emily | everything between built on platform and CONTRIBUTING.md is pretty inconsistent value | 21:02:35 |
 Grimmauld (any/all) | I'd love a "review template" for that stuff, but i don't think github can do that... | 21:07:37 |
| emily | the thing about the CONTRIBUTING.md checkbox is that nobody is actually going through every provision in it every PR to check whether they're in compliance | 21:08:34 |
| emily | but we definitely want new contributors to read it | 21:08:42 |
| emily | my thinking is that the PR checklist itself should be minimal and focused on the high-importance stuff you should be checking every PR, and then first-time contributors get a bot reply with extra checkboxes for stuff we want people to learn about at the start | 21:09:36 |
 kuflierl | To be fair, i did the first 2 times or so. I don't anymore since i think i now most of it | 21:09:37 |
| emily | and the reward for those is you get the PR assigned to a round-robin new user contribution triage team | 21:09:49 |
| Grimmauld (any/all) | how would the new user interact with the bot checkboxes? You need committer to edit things | 21:10:42 |
| kuflierl | I like this. Reading it the first time was a hasle. I would have loved having a checklist + links to further questions | 21:10:48 |
