Subject: Wanted: students for the Leo Code Academy
To: leo-editor <leo-e...@googlegroups.com>


It's time, imo, to begin planning for the day that I won't be around
to maintain Leo. To that end, I would like to start training people
to become comfortable with fixing bugs in Leo and to add Leo plugins.
Yes, we already have people who have done both, but we could use more.

I would like to start encouraging people to fix bugs themselves. In
many cases, the task isn't all that difficult. Learning to
navigate/explore Leo's code is an excellent skill, not just for Leo,
but for any project that uses Leo to maintain code. People have
different learning styles, but I am convinced that learning is the
best way to master any complex skill. And fixing a bug that bugs you
is pretty close to the best possible motivation.

I would rather spend a week teaching someone how to fix a bug in Leo
than to take an hour fixing the bug myself. The former has long-term
benefits, the latter only fixes the bug.

I will be happy to teach people who don't know Python, and even people
who don't know anything about programming at all. There are resources
of the web to get anyone started, and learning in the Leo environment
should be easier in some ways than learning, say, using vim or emacs.
I suspect that just about anyone who is interested in Leo has the
temperament and ability to program Leo with Python.

Please let me know if you are interested in learning about Leo's code,
how to program in Python, or how to fix a specific bug. For bug fixes,
the best place to have the discussion is in the github bug page
itself. In fact, the mypy people use the github bug system for all
conversations, so please feel free to open a new bug item in order to
start learning. I've just created a new "Leo Academy" label for all
such conversations.
