http://perpetual.education is a design/programming school. We like to be part of the discussion over here at Dev.to / We have time-slots for free conversations for career advice IRL : )
It can be kinda wacky - because a good first issueis often something that can be fixed with the same amount of time as deciding it's a good first issue and placing the tag. Then, when you fix it - (it's your first issue) - so, often - you'll get a message like: "Thanks: make a better pull request and x and y - and we'll look at it." "OK great, so - just change this other things and make another pull request and I think we might be able to merge this." There might be a lot of back and forth between 5 people. It's hard - even when you are actually a nice person, to sound human. (so many messages and stuff!)
Open source is great! and encouraging people to get started is great. Maybe there are some other ways to facilitate this. Would a short video chat with 10 little fixes once a month and a little background on what to do, and why to do it clarify things better than a tag.
We don't have the answer - but we do have the question: is there a better way? What is the goal? What are the steps to that goal?
