Draft strategy for a newly arrived Lightning hacker
- set up IRC client to auto-join #education, #calendar, and #maildev
- use #education as a first place to ask for help (especially on stuff not specific to Ltn or Tb)
- pull Thunderbird and Lightning from comm-central, make a build that works
- find a few [good first bug]s and do them
- find a bug with a student-project keyword, discuss with humph/Fallen and do it
- talk to Fallen to find next project
Straw-man plan to make above happen
- find a reasonable set of lightning bugs (10?) to give student-project keyword
- review existing [good first bug]s to ensure that they're still relevant and make sense
- start directing newbies to #education and humph
- draft/publish Lightning near-term roadmap
- draft blog post asking for help, with links to the ramp-up process above and the various buglists
- send version of blog posts to various folks who have expressed interest in the past (dmose has a partial list)
- Make documentation more appealing, provide landing page for new developers
