Glad people are excited about this,

I like "beginner/intermediate/advanced".  I think it's more accurate than "easy/hard" and clearer than "accessible", "welcoming", etc.

I also want to call out the "mentor" label that the Rust team is using: experienced devs nominate themselves as mentors on projects, then newcomers can tackle them with some support.  As a newcomer, that's *extremely* appealing to me.

Cheers,
Ike

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? :-)

Various projects I'm involved with use

difficulty: beginner (or just "beginner")
babydev-bait (!)
newcomer (several use "newbie" but I do not recommend that label)
