Thread:Project talk:New contributors/Greeters/First tasks

Quim says "I think the primary role of Greeters is to connect newcomers with a first task until completion."

Should we come up with a list of first tasks or a list a places a new contributor could find first tasks?
 * Developers
 * https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Easy_bugs
 * Browser Testing
 * https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/QA/Browser_testing
 * For browser testing a first task could be writing a feature description, and new contributors could choose from a list of curated bugs that need a feature description.
 * Bug Management
 * https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Project:WikiProject_Bug_Squad
 * Bug days would be a good event to point new contributors to.

And in general: https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Project:Calendar could be something to point new contributors to.

Also, what sort of permission will a new contributor need and when should they get those permissions, e.g. when you register with Bugzilla you get 'canconfirm' privileges, and if you ask you can get 'editbug' privileges. At first, new contributors can't assign themselves to bugs with their 'canconfirm' permissions, so do we automatically give them the privileges to do so, or do the Greeters assign new contributors to a bug they want to resolve, and once they do that give them 'editbug' permissions so they can assign themselves to bugs?
