A “Polkadot SDK Tracker” GitHub Project to onboard contributors and surface bite-size issues (similar to reth Tracker) #9629
Description
Is there an existing issue?
- I have searched the existing issues
Experiencing problems? Have you tried our Stack Exchange first?
- This is not a support question.
Motivation
I came across the reth project tracker and was delighted by how easy it made getting started as someone who's unfamiliar with the project.
All the issues were neatly organized into a table and it instantly showed me what were the places I could jump in based on my persona.
It feels like a low hanging fruit to implement the same here while being a massive quality of life improvement for newcomers.
Polkadot-SDK already has solid contributor guidance and labels like C1-mentor and C2-good-first-issue. A project board that pulls these together visually would greatly reduce friction for first-timers and help maintainers broadcast priorities without creating new processes.
While there are a few projects on github already, they're segregated by specific features (e.g. Zombienet CI reliability and confidence) and feel more like "internal tracking" than something open and meant for outside contributions.
Request
Set up a repo-scoped GitHub Project that pulls in existing labels (good-first, mentor, area, status, etc.) and displays them in a table view. This would make it much easier for newcomers to find the right issues, without requiring any extra process from maintainers.
I really like the project view that reth tracker has created. Something similar would be ideal imo. (ss attached below)
