Project list can link to repo /contribute page

[tiferet]

🐞 Problem

Not all projects use the same label to surface their beginner-friendly issues. This makes it hard to maintain the project list that is linked off the "Where to go from here" section of the README, and means many good issues might be missed.

🎯 Goal

GitHub recently shipped the /contribute page for all public repos. This page surfaces all beginner-friendly open issues in the repo. Its list is based on an ever-evolving algorithm that includes both a large list of labels (good first issue, easy fix, etc.) and a detector for unlabeled issues. Linking to the /contribute page of the repos in the project list would be far easier and more comprehensive than linking to a single, manually-customized label filter for each project.

💡 Possible solutions

Replace all the Go to project links in the project list with a link to the project's /contribute page. For example, for react native, the link would be changed from https://github.com/facebook/react-native/issues?q=is%3Aissue+is%3Aopen+label%3A%22Good+first+issue%22 to https://github.com/facebook/react-native/contribute.

@isa3bel When I click on "Go to project" on any of the projects in the project list it still takes me to the old place. Do you know why?

[isa3bel]

hm that is strange. it was merged though. perhaps the author needs to deploy the new changes.

[tiferet]

OK, I see in the PR that it should hopefully be resolved soon 😄. Thank you for your work on this!

Hi @tiferet , thank you for opening this issue. I believe it's best discussed in https://github.com/firstcontributions/firstcontributions.github.io.

The changes you suggested are deployed now. I'm closing this issue.

As a contributor, @gavv pointed out, this might not be what we want for all the projects listed. Let's have a discussion about it. I'll open an issue in firstcontributions.github.io repo to discuss this.
