This topic has been brought up internally a few times, but we don't have a silver bullet solution yet. We should bring this up as a topic of discussion at the next Maintainer Summit. One suggestion was to have a bot to ask maintainers to triage issues in terms of levels of difficulty. Another one was to redirect eager contributors to join our Discord server.
Note: We've renamed the good first issue tag to beginner friendly. In the future, we should also
mention whatever solution we come up with in CONTRIBUTING.md
Spectron is our homegrown testing framework, but it has gone unmaintained for a long time. We should first figure out what testing solutions app developers use, and make a decision on what to publicly recommend from there.
Some solutions:
- Rewriting Spectron to stop using remote
- Other testing frameworks: Playwright, Webdriver.IO
- New docs website
- Reminding people about Discord
- Keeley’s Global Maintainers Summit when the VOD goes live ( + Blog post)
