Support of `help wanted` label
I would like to add support of help wanted label, but there are some many issues already: https://api.github.com/search/issues?q=label:"help%20wanted"+is:issue+is:open&sort=updated&order=desc
Will the bot post all of them at once? Is it alright?
The bot can be run with --only-save option to update the local DB:
https://github.com/musically-ut/first-timers-only-bot/blob/7438415d15e4a6f54666230a7aff46c35df44942/first_timers/run.py#L15-L17
Thereafter, it'll only report the new issues which appear with the label help wanted.
If you are interested in working on a PR for this, you may want to wait until I finish #4. Or why not work on #4 first? :)
Hey guys, I am just wondering...
The purpose of this bot I believe is to the find issues which are beginner friendly. The idea is to help beginners by taking the guess work out of their search process so that they can jump start and contribute. I just want all the issues reported by this bot to be simple enough. And flags like help wanted or even the existing up for grabs will have the regular issues which I feel will defeats the purpose.
I am scouting the repos for beginners tasks when am starting out and found that beginner issues are also tagged with good first contribution, bit-size, simple, easy. I think these flags will fall under the category of this bot.
These are just my views and am open to discussion. Please feel free to correct me. Let me know what you guys think :)
@cg-cnu yeah, I've started labeling subset of help wanted with beginners, so it is fine with me to close it
@musically-ut Since this is your project. I am looking for your opinion on this one. What do you say :smile:
