[scratch-www] Type of bugs to fix

I've been looking at the issues on the scratch-www repo, and I'm just curious what the “best” type of bug to fix is for a new contributor. The “Add/Remove Moderators on Credits Page” issue looks fairly simple to fix, but I'm not sure if the whole PR-checking deal adds too much overhead for any outside help to be useful. There's also no issues labeled “first-bug” yet, so there's that.

To be fair, the repo was *just* open-sourced, so it's not super likely that anyone maintaining it needed that tag before now.

What would “first-bug” mean? The first bug they encountered?

In the wiki for the repo, it says that issues labeled with “first-bug” are good candidates for new contributors to fix.

Oh, thanks. I didn't see the wiki

Lol
The black smoke monster was a plot hole that gathered a lot of interest from the LOST fan base, and left them very dissatisfied with it's resolution. We don't want that in our codebase, because we care about our fans, and about resolving plotholes in general. This PR removes the black smoke monster character completely from the script of LOST, and instead gives Jacob the role to add complexity to that character, and cast Jacob less as a pure hero and more as a complex keeper of the island.
Like an open-source TV show or something?

Thanks for the question @technoboy10! I think your analysis is correct. We'll try to get a couple “first bugs” up soon – I'd be happy to drop a note in here once we do!

@technoboy10 I marked the “Add/Remove Moderators on Credits Page” bug as a first bug – feel free to take a look at it if you'd like!
