* Please do help us triage these bugs. If you see that a bug that was previously being worked on by a student has gone dormant, ask yourself, "is this still a good project?" Did it go dormant because of lack of interest from the community? Are there patches there, and someone just needs to finish it (perhaps marking "help-wanted" would be more appropriate). Should it be offered to another student as is? | * Please do help us triage these bugs.

* When commenting or doing reviews of such bugs, remember that these are new contributors who are wanting to learn. Code reviews are inherently focused on critical assessment, and for good reason: the bar needs to be high for submissions to the tree. However, new people also need encouragement. Something as simple as, "Thanks for working on this," or, "This is really getting close," help to show that the process of iterating on a bug are technical rather than personal. Above all, save any negative criticism aimed at making fun of the person. | |||
