Tasks need to be organized into eight categories:
- Code: Tasks related to writing or refactoring code
- Documentation: Tasks related to creating/editing documents
- Outreach: Tasks related to community management and outreach/marketing
- Quality Assurance: Tasks related to testing and ensuring code is of high quality
- Research: Tasks related to studying a problem and recommending solutions
- Training: Tasks related to helping others learn more
- Translation: Tasks related to localization
- User Interface: Tasks related to user experience research or user interface design and interaction
Within each category tasks should sorted by difficulty level:
- Novice - these tasks can be done by someone with no experience working with the project
- Median - these tasks are suitable for someone with some experience in a project
- Expert - these tasks require knowledge in a specific field or extreme familiarity with a project
Task ideas should be tagged with the subproject they should be mentored for, currently:
- stdlib - Python's Standard Library
For example:
- Complete documentation for the wsgiref module [median] (stdlib)
