  At OpenSauced, we’ve been working to curate a contributor journey that allows for contributors to grow. We have repositories made for new contributors, like our Intro Course, pizza-verse, and guestbook. We also include good first issue labels on some of the issues in our app, which is generally geared towards someone leaving the new stage and entering the intermediate stage.
