Contribution page & easy/moderate tickets for newcomers

[dmagda]

Ignite,

I've done a major overhaul of our contribution page that promotes
involvement in Ignite development:
https://ignite.apache.org/community/contribute.html

Many sections were simplified, some legacy stuff was removed and I'll
appreciate if some of you check the page and advise further improvements.

Apart from that, one of the sections (Pick a Ticket) lists of  easy and
moderate tickets
<https://issues.apache.org/jira/issues/?jql=project%20%3D%20IGNITE%20AND%20labels%20in%20(newbie)%20and%20status%20%3D%20OPEN>
for
newcomers. I do believe that the list needs to be reviewed. Could each of
you recall any tickets of easy/moderate complexity that are still pending
but will be great to implement? Put the "newbie" label for those and
mention "component". I've already highlighted some of the components on the
webpage (ML, SQL, platforms) and we can expand the list.


Thanks!

Hi Denis,

I've reviewed the list of newbie tickets for .NET, added some more there.

Also I've updated the page a little bit:

- Changed the wording of the first paragraph: "you need to sign up" ->
"please sign up"
To be honest, the mood on this whole page feels a bit off to me.
I'm not a native speaker though, maybe we should ask for help here to make
the text more friendly.

- Fixed the JIRA links
Many of them pointed to a specific issue instead along with the search
results

Thanks,
Pavel

Cool, filters much more better than previous list of tasks inserted
directly in HTML

Pavel, Alexey, thanks for checking and updates!

I’ll send this page to a fellow editor for a review once it’s checked by us
internally. Let’s wait a bit letting others join the thread.

Hello Denis,

Thank you for publishing and modifying the Contributions page. Many time
folks have approached me over email, linkedin and offline about how they
can contribute to Apache projects and I share this link and about my
experience. I will continue to share this link going forward.

I am thinking if it will be ok to add link to the apache getting started
101 page https://community.apache.org/gettingStarted/101.html in the
Contributions page.

Regards,
Saikat

Hello Saikat,

Thanks for checking the page and suggesting the improvement. I'll add the
link to the page.

Also, I'm thinking to go for another round of changes by listing other
forms of contributions such as helping to answer users' questions,
reviewing changes or updating documentation. Like the way it's described by
Spark community: https://spark.apache.org/contributing.html

Hi Denis,

Yes, adding other form of contributions like help in answering user
questions, updating documents and reviewing code changes will certainly
help in learning and knowing the project better

We can also add this link for reference for open issues waiting for review,
this will help folks to learn on code styles which our community is
following.

https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/IGNITE/Issues+waiting+for+review

Saikat
