We should support our fediverse admins and instances 💪 Support by sending money (for people who can), moderating content, submitting issues or helping the team and project ✌️

Be sure also the issues you have in your project have the suitable labels to help future contributors to pick easily some of them, i.e. labels like “help wanted” or “good first issue”.

You can also refer to best practices listed and explained for example in Advent of Open Source so as to have a nice and user-friendly repo: https://adventofopensource.com/

BTW I hope any project won’t increase the Z version only by including Dependabot commits, it would be insane. Release must be documented, tested, with CHANGELOG updated. If some maintainers just accept Dependabot commits without checking, move away. That’s just simple crappy auto-merge.

Nice idea 👍

Interesting. Thank you for sharing, didn’t know openhub!

Why did you say Write Freely seems to be dead? According to their GitHub organisation repositories, the backend has a release tagged 4 months ago and the iOS app 3 months ago.

The disappearance of all these tech peacocks and web turkeys who focus on their number of followers and the quantity of talks rather than quality. The dev rel advocates made the atmosphere toxic

Feel free to share your feedback to the team behind the project, they are awesome 😄

Woops, the French developers behind the project didn’t know 😂

So annoying. It is useless to bring gamification to open source projects. It won’t enhance quality nor bring reliable contributors. People should contribute to FLOSS projects without such things IMO.

I still don’t understand why Hacktoberfest get so much hype. I don’t even understand Hacktoberfest meanings. Is it to get shiny badges on GitHub accounts?
