Support in research about newcomers

Hello,

I am a PhD Candidate from Brazil. My research is interest is on how to
support new contributors during their first steps in the project.

My final goal is to verify what kind of tooling is appropriate to support
the newcomers overcoming their difficulties when they are willing to
contribute to the project.

The first step of my reasearch is to find out what are the main obstacles
and difficulties faced by these newcomers. My goal is to hear from the
community itself.

I need your help answering three quick questions available here:

You will not take more than 10 minutes, and the survey responses does not
contain any identifying information about you unless a specific question in
the survey has asked for this.

Thanks in advance
