As we discussed in the ESC we are not doing a good job to help these people migrate from solving EasyHacks to doing normal LibreOffice development independently of a mentor.<br><br></div>The problem of not being able to help them means that some of them are stuck in working on EasyHacks for a long time. This creates several problems for us:<br><br></div>* no new blood in the core developers<br></div>* "experienced" developers solve tasks that need core developers as mentors<br></div>* may interesting projects are never done<br><br></div>To mitigate these issue I'm pleased to announce Core Hacks (ideas for a better name are appreciated), the missing step between Easy Hacks and core developers. A Core Hack is still a mentored task but requires more independent work from the developer. I have created a wiki page [1] where I currently list the ones that I know and where you can add your own ideas.<br><br></div>I ask all developers to look out for people who have solved a few easy hacks already and who should maybe move on to the next step.<br><br></div>Regards,<br></div>Markus<br><br>[1] <a href="https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/CoreHacks" target="_blank">https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/CoreHacks</a><br></div>
