Proper organization of this community

[shashank-sharma]

Can we please organize our task in some way. There are few things which needs to be done first before going ahead.

• Edit README.md file and add some guidelines so that newcomers can easily navigate
• Rules which needs to be followed by every community member
• Create Basic website structure fulfilling minimum requirements of that website
• Start accepting issues and assigning it to different people
• Spread this news among slack people 😄

Let me know if this thing will help, because our main concern is to take care of new comers so first we will do that.
@kundanvishen Let me know if you agree with this, then we can work on it

Awesome points @shashank-sharma . Let's proceed with these

[aravindharinair]

Along with these, include protocols for pushing files to the master repos...

[shashank-sharma]

Ok sure, I'll push few of the necessary details by today. :)

Hey guys, how about using Trello (https://trello.com) for managing and maintaining tasks?

[shashank-sharma]

@thisisabdus Let's focus on small things first, because our community is not that big right now. Will manage things if we will face an difficulty in future till then lets help each other :) What you say ?

[abdus]

I have no problems dude. Let's focus on work. :)

It would be good, if everyone lets us know their skills, be it anything, content/documentation-writing, writing code, seo, Adobe suite, API calls etc, will help everyone to assign issues/tasks appropriately.

For example

I know HTML5 APIs,Jquery, Ajax, JSON standards, HTTP/s protocol, Google APIs well.
This might help you assign a task.

[aravindharinair]

Well, I know HTML/CSS, basic Adobe Suite (Lightroom, Photoshop, Premiere Pro - in that order) and Python.
I have experience with content editing but, I do prefer coding...

[kundanvishen]

It may seem like I'm trying to brag, but honestly, it is just to give you the right idea.
I happen to pick up quite a few things,

HTML/CSS, Bootstrap, Javascript, SASS, JQuery, D3.js, APIs from Google, Facebook, etc,
are some of the things that we would be using here which I happen to know.

In my regular job, I majorly work with:

Typescript, Angular, Gulp, WebSockets, Webpack, etc in frontend,

PHP, NodeJS, ExpressJS, Hapi, etc in server,

Postgres, MongoDB, SQL, Memcached, Redis, etc as DB,

I know a little DevOps, such as
managing AWS EC instances, S3 storage, Lambdas, Heroku,
Load Balancing (Nginx?), Continous Integration, etc.

Miscellaneous:
HTTP, TCP/IP, WebSocket, protocols, Service/Web Workers, Oauth, Swagger, ElectronJS, PWAs, etc.

I have mostly worked on server side technologies like PHP, ASP.NET, MVC and frontend I am comfortable with bootstrap.

Also have some knowledge of front end API Integration!

I would like to suggest something ! Create groups and assign group head (who are basically familiar with github and coding ), then assign new comers/beginners . the benefit is the group head can choose the issue and can assign to the beginners accordingly.
Lets say there are 10 group heads and 5 people are assigned (according to skills,knowledge,etc) to each group head there will be 50 people excluding the group heads.
The important thing is the group heads should know the skills of assigned people so that he can assign the right task for the beginners. This way it will be much organised.
I also have the idea to select the group head and the assignment process, If you guys are interested i will follow up

[aravindharinair]

@MorphyMeri the group head idea is great 😄 but regarding them assigning the tasks, I'm not so sure. Personally, I think it'd be better for a new-comer to choose his/her own task as per what they feel comfortable in. They can coordinate with the heads assigned to them, to understand what they are supposed to do in detail and clear doubts while working on it.
This is my personal opinion though.

[shashank-sharma]

@aravindharinair I agree what you said. Your point is that new-comer should feel comfortable about working on an issue rather than pressurizing him with the given task. But I guess we need some sort of maintainers so that the community organize properly. Let those maintainers help each new-comers on random if they find anyone in difficult situation

[aravindharinair]

@shashank-sharma , exactly. The maintainers/group heads would be assisting with tasks and monitoring them rather than assigning tasks.
