It seems now that AuthDjango works again.

Berlin hackathon thoughts

  • Which projects will be looking for new contributors?
    • pywikipedia bot + English Wikipedia Unblock Ticket Response System especially
    • Find the maintainers of both; work to help those contributors organize their documentation and set up their lists of tasks to do/bugs to fix at the hackathon
    • Look for and try to help address technical/social infrastructure problems with those projects
  • What is the required knowledge for new contributors?
    • For each such thing, where's the hackathon-official doc for that?
    • Who will be on the ground helping?
  • Where is the list of entry-level tasks for those projects?
  • Who will take the time to talk to people about their background and identify good first bugs?
  • Ensuring that there are high-quality laptop setup instructions, preferably cross-platform, for the tech tools required for these projects, e.g. pywikipediabot
  • Ensuring the schedule has time for laptop setup and that we find on-the-ground volunteers to help address development environment problems newcomers will face.
  • What problems did people face in previous times?
    • Is there a list of past attendees who we can ask an exit survey? A year later is late, but better late than never
