[20:33:48] <kracekumar> Hi, I was going through warehouse issues, found "Great for new contributors" label. There is no issue under the label. I found few easy fix ones at surface level. But I couldn't find any docs about label style and what not to touch. Is it ok to express the interest in the issue and wait for go ahead sign ? Or new contributor can solve issues marked as "Great for new contributors" ?

[20:38:26] <dstufft> kracekumar: hey! So you're allowed to work on pretty much any issue you like. There are two milestones that show the most important issues, but you can work on stuff not in those milestones. It's possible that all of the stuff we had tagged for good for new contributors got finished and we didn't notice-- but as a new contributor, you don't have to *only* work on those things.

[20:42:13] <kracekumar> dstufft: That helps. Thanks!

[22:26:01] <ianw> dstufft: so you'd be OK with pip unintsalling an existing package before "pip install -e" of that package?

[22:27:09] <ianw> only problem i thought with that is if it breaks a dependency during that process, but i guess it's just the same as an upgrade?

[22:37:26] <dstufft> ianw: yea, I'd just treat it the same as an upgrade

[22:40:31] <dstufft> ianw: and explicitly yes, not only am I OK with uninstalling an existing package as part of ``pip install -e .``, I'd argue that's probably the correct behavior in general.

[22:41:46] <ianw> dstufft: cool, i'll see what i can figure out if nobody beats me to it
