Documentation office hour participants have identified several project ideas that we believe would be good for She Code Africa participants. We believe these would be useful additions to Jenkins and would be feasible for first-time contributors from Africa to complete in a 4 week development cycle, spending 10-15 hours per week on the tasks.
Project ideas:
- Program / Project Management to run meetings, track progress of the candidates, identify concerns, and help with issues - mentored by Mark Waite
- Inclusive naming initiative to replace deprecated terms (“master”, “slave”, “whitelist”, “blacklist”) in selected plugins with their replacement terms - mentored by the Docs SIG (Meg McRoberts, Kristin Whetstone, Dheeraj Singh Jodha)
- Screenshot updates for www.jenkins.io based on Jenkins 2.332.1 or later - mentored by Docs SIG
- Test the tutorials and report issues with the tutorials - mentored by the Docs SIG (Meg McRoberts, Kristin Whetstone, Dheeraj Singh Jodha)
- Test automation - convert JUnit 3 tests to JUnit 4 in plugins like the git plugin, git client plugin, … - mentors not yet identified
Other suggestions, project ideas, and mentor candidates are welcomed and encouraged.
