First time contributor, requesting permission to work on #32340

[ssban...@gmail.com]

Hi team,

I am a new contributor and working with Django as a Junior Developer. After looking into issue tracker, I see #32340 as a ticket that I would love to work on if nobody else is working on it.

In case I get to work on this, I had a couple of questions regarding what needs to be done.

1. For the suggestion of having explicit instructions on the Django documentation about the format of the form fields, as described in the ticket, should I focus on mentioning the default formats for the following fields -

• Date and time fields – DateField, DatetimeField, TimeField, SplitDateTimeField, DurationField
• More technical fields which have very specific formats: SlugField, JSONField, UUIDField, RegexField, GenericIPAddressField 

2. Should the changes in the documentation extend to issues such as #32339 or #32338 on why it should be avoided?

Please forgive me if I have not been able to understand the ticket responsibility the way it is intended, and I would be very grateful if the scope of the changes required could be pointed out to me by any senior member of the community.

Thanks,
Surya

Hi Surya. Welcome

Do comment on the ticket. Thibauld and Tom should be able to give you more specific advice. 

I'm not sure if Thibauld is already planning work, but there should be room to collaborate. 

 

Kind Regards,

Carlton

Hi Carlton,

I posted my question on the original ticket #32340 about 10 days ago and still haven't received any response. I was wondering if there were any particular norms regarding how long I should wait for a response before starting some work on the ticket that I should adhere to. Really sorry to bother you with this, but I am keen to contribute and can't wait to get started.

Thanks,

Surya

Hi Surya, 

People are busy, especially in the current situation, so sometimes replies are slow. 

But yes, you want to get cracking. 

There are a few possible tasks implicit in the ticket there.

One easy and small win was to document the default formats, at least for the date type fields. How about beginning there? (I need to have a longer look to know about next steps.) 

Thanks! And good hustle. 😃

Kind regards, 

Carlton
