[jira] Created: (INFRA-1346) Add difficulty attribute to CXF JIRA

Add difficulty attribute to CXF JIRA
------------------------------------

                 Key: INFRA-1346
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/INFRA-1346
             Project: Infrastructure
          Issue Type: Wish
      Security Level: public (Regular issues)
          Components: JIRA
            Reporter: Daniel Kulp



One of the issues CXF is having is how to get more people involved in the code to help attract new developers.   One thought we had was to be able to have the "experts" triage the JIRA entries into difficulty levels so newer folks could get their feet wet with "easier" tasks/bugs.   To support this, we'd like to have a "Difficulty" attribute with either a 1-5 scale (with 0 for unknown) or even a list like {"Unknown", "Trivial", "Easy", "Medium", "Hard", "Experts Only"}.    We could then use the Jira plugin in confluence to keep up-to-date lists of stuff on our wiki to help new folks get started quicker.

Anyway, we've had a couple requests from people for things to help them get started in the code.   Something like this could help them find things that they could work on where they could really feel they are contributing while they are learning.

--------------------------------------

Harmony have a 'Estimated Complexity' field with the following values:

    * Unknown
    * Novice
    * Moderate
    * Advanced
    * Guru
    * Needs James Gosling

Is that something you could use?
