: I get requests of interested (but inexperienced) developers to help, but I hesitate to encourage them because most new developers will need intensive help for 5 (or so) first bugs until they become able to work independently. Unfortunatley we do not have proved and well known infrastructure for that like Newbies discussion forum (where they can help each other) and similar. So we lost [https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/user_profile?login=vishal.batchu%40students.iiit.ac.in Batchu Venkat Vishal], [https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1215535#c1 Tom Zhang], ytrackm-sannysm@yahoo.com (never started activity) and others. Any Ideas how to interest possible new developers in continuous and persevering contiibution to SeaMonkey?
