So made a start on this, I purged the current tag and started the first one @
https://github.com/pouchdb/pouchdb/issues/3883 and will get through a few more hopefully, I want to write a blog post about fixing a bug and use that to promote them.
As for what bugs should be tagged and not, I want to keep the tag only for bugs that are very clear what as to what the bug/issue is and what the fix looks like. It shouldnt require any previous PouchDB / CouchDB knowledge, it should be doable in around an hour.
We want contributions for all bugs and for them to be contributor friendly. The tag is for bugs that are specifically chosen to be suitable with no previous experience. And after saying that, we should probably change the name back to 'goodfirstpatch' or 'first-timers-only', it was changed to 'help-wanted' to be compatible with a github project that didnt seem to happen and 'help-wanted' is a little presumptions / not very informative.
