I really need to stop reusing branch names, it creates all sorts of git horribleness (I never remember I'm reusing them) |
Try more specific ones, e.g. here |
| complicated issue for your first contribution - please ask in the incubator | ||
| channel if you need help gauging the complexity of the work. |

That's what it's called above.

it's called incubator on gitter/discourse, so Ill streamline to that

Semi OT: Is incubator a good name? It’s rather an advanced word that people with little English knowledge may not know. Also I’m not clear how welcoming it sounds.

I dunno, it's what we decided on back when @melissawm was contributor experience lead the first time. We can discuss again, but I think is out of scope here.

Re: name, I don't have strong opinions! We could try "New contributor space" or something if it makes it clearer.
As far as instructions go, I'm not sure it's clear to new contributors that the incubator is a chat on the discourse interface (I didn't know discourse had a chat feature until a month ago!)
This should probably be mentioned here: https://matplotlib.org/devdocs/devel/contribute.html#contributor-incubator but I think can be a follow-up.

Yeah, I think name change is maybe a separate discussion and we should probably discuss on the call if it's time to move the chat links to discourse (I think we've adopted it at this point)
I remembered what this branch is about, I just forgot I'd (and apparently other people) had used this name before :/ locally I renamed it to contrib-timeline as part of cleaning up my git mess. |

updated w/ the second commit from #31124 which pulled in "please do direct translation" guidance cause I think it makes more sense here |
