Usually we do not add starter level labels to issues for a number of reasons. Firstly, what is easy or what is difficult often depends on a personal perspective. For example some have experience on frontend technologies, while others know backend technologies. Secondly, our experience with labeling issues according to their level has been mixed and taking care of labeling issues according to their level often adds more overhead for maintainers who are already busy with bringing the project forward. The “bandwidth” of developers taking care of things is limited. Furthermore, if a project has started to label things “beginner level” and there are no “beginner” level issues anymore, new contributors often ask for more issues labeled beginners again keeping devs busy creating beginner issues. Thirdly, this contradicts the goals of fast and focused project development and possibly diverts the attention of maintainers from the project development workflow. While Open Source is all about sharing, collaboration and learning, maintainers of projects actually do have the goal to develop their project further and provide a great application – this is indeed their main focus and they love people who join up with them in creating something amazing. Finally, developers of a project do not usually consider themselves as teachers even if they are happy to share their knowledge. Open Source development is a hands-on approach to learn new things just like in real life. However, for new developers who are looking for solving easy issues only or trying to learn about the basics of technologies in a traditional teacher-student style we recommend to get started first with online courses or join a university or school program to learn about coding.
