TODO: table for the issues

@mkenigs approve please

[mkenigs]

Think I'd just call it our projects. It's not a bounty list because there isn't any payout

[VietThan]

changed

[mkenigs]

Should we just put the actual logo here?

[VietThan]

ascii is cool

[mkenigs]

Idk if we need more of a slogan but not totally sold on this

[VietThan]

changed to "Welcome to VFOSS"

Sorry didn't get a chance to look at this over break. I think I would prefer keeping projects split up, not merging everything into one table. I like the idea of difficulty, but I think I might prefer just marking good first issue, nothing, or hard. Stars seem kinda arbitrary. Thoughts? Also would like to merge some stuff like the ascii art but can't really since it's all one PR. If you want me to merge parts before you're done split it into separate PRs. Also don't want to merge broken links. Thanks for the great work!

1. Tables
   Tables are visually appealing and provide good structure for people to browse projects. I understand the problems with the bigger projects, I think those can be left out (Urho3D), their inclusion in the table can be a link. The ones currently in the table are simple fixes if you noticed. How cna I persuade you of the table being a good idea (especially visually)?

2. Stars
   Stars are arbitrary because I have not yet been able to create a guideline. But now that I think about it, I don't think many of us are qualified to create and follow a guideline anyway. Howabout leaving that box for people to "note on difficulty"

3. ASCII and links
   Uhhhh, will try to see how that would work.
   How do I see if links are broken? Do I individually click on them?
   Addendum: I clicked on all the links, didn't see any not working.

1. I think tables are great, I just don't want all our work in one table. I'd prefer if we can separate into our 4-5 main projects, as well as a miscellaneous one. Can we have a table per project?
2. Can you just leave a checkbox or something for good first issue? Which we can use for documentation kind of fixes.
3. Merged.
4. Stuff like claim an issue doesn't go anywhere

Thank you!!!

1. Okay, of the current list, which ones are main and which ones are miscellaneous?

2. I'm going to work on the difficulty levels but I guess there should be three:

   • First-time/entry/newb
   • Medium: some familiarity with language/project
   • Hard: high familiarity with technology/project, major change/addition to project

3. Cool

4. It's a TODO for how people are suppose to claim an issue (could be most people's first pull request actually), to "claim" an issue for themselves.

Will be working on these. Just updating you with direction of future progress.

[mkenigs]

1. Alacritty, Nix, Ghidra, Urho, and Rust are main
2. Agreed
3. Makes sense, if you can change that now, I'll merge it, otherwise create a separate issue.
   Awesome, thanks for working on it!
