+1 - the original subject line corresponds to that projects interested in
new activity.
3-5 times a week a student or IT hobbiest or professional developer or
website designer pings dev@community.a.o asking 'I would like to
contribute, where do I start?' These are of the 30-500 who looked at
apache.org pages with the same question. The stock answer is always
'choose a project that interests you, and dive right in'.
Is there a way to reframe this discussion as a collaboration of incubating
projects to create a landing page, perhaps with a query-by- programming
languages/skills/components needed that includes the terse project and
audience summaries for incubating efforts? Somewhere dev@community can
direct newcomers to help find their 'fit' or area of interest in the
foundation?
TLPs have it sort-of-easy, most are well known names to their audiences.
Incubation efforts are less so, recently renamed and just assembling all
the pieces with the expected gaps throughout.
Who would be interested in such an effort? Wondering if the Whimsy PMC
might be the platform to build such an ASF 'projects' search board?

Agreed this is in the scope of comdev, but in terms of the data collection and aggregation process, you have many willing test subjects aggregated on this list, which sure beats broadcast mails to pmcs@.

jira is exactly how I used to run GSOC, I think the process remains roughly the same. The goal WA to have a list of tasks marked as "mentor available". This list could bf used throughout the year, not just GSOC.
I built searches for this but it never really got traction. I still think it's a good idea though.
Assuming folks agree with this approach I guess that makes ComDev the right place.

The easiest way would be to have a JIRA view looking for open tickets
marked in a certain way. Then projects can start using the flags and
get represented.
Thanks,

Just to second some of that, both incubator and outside, it would be cool
if the ASF had a 'jobs board' of sorts, where projects could add "adverts"
for people when they are short of specific help. Or conversely if I'm bored
and want to do something a bit different where can I find projects who have
a need for my skill set?
I can search distinct projects, but it would be nice to have a central
location.
