Hi, I was about to suggest the same thing. I also started my own list for the last hackathon at https://ghc.haskell.org/trac/ghc/wiki/ZuriHac2014#Possibletickets but something like https://ghc.haskell.org/trac/ghc/query?keywords=~newcomer would be even nicer. Of course there is the bike-shedding question of what the keyword should be. “easy” is obvious, but I don’t like it a lot: These tickets are not necessary easy, and we don’t want new contributors to think that we only trust them to do easy stuff. The quality that we are looking for is “tacklabe by a newcomer“, i.e. not requiring too deep knowledge of GHC. Is there a nice word for that? I found “accessible”, “welcoming”, “appealing” – anything that sounds good in native English speaker’s ears? :-) About filling the list: I suggest that if you see a new ticket on ghc-tickets filed that you would recommend to a newcomer, simply set the keyword. This has the side-effect that at least one developer get’s CCed when a newcomer comes along and posts questions to the ticket.
