Adding a Proposal

Please only add proposals you are willing to mentor!

When adding an idea to this section, please try to include the following data:

• a brief explanation
• the expected results
• prerequisites for working on your project if any
• if applicable, links to more information or discussions
• your name and email address for contact
• time to complete the proposal

The proposals should be ordered by area:

• • Code: Tasks related to writing or refactoring code
  • Documentation: Tasks related to creating/editing documents
  • Outreach: Tasks related to community management and outreach/marketing
  • Quality Assurance: Tasks related to testing and ensuring code is of high quality
  • Research: Tasks related to studying a problem and recommending solutions
  • Training: Tasks related to helping others learn more
  • Translation: Tasks related to localization
  • User Interface: Tasks related to user experience research or user interface design and interaction

Inside these areas they should be ordered by difficulty of the proposal (must be one of easy, medium, hard)

If you have a good idea for a proposal but are not going to mentor it, get in contact with relevant team/contributor first.
