This is a repo for moving forward a variety of projects within the OpenAPI community. In an effort to be more transparent and help involve the community in a variety of ways we will be managing most projects within this repository. This README should provide you with everything you need to get started working on an existing project, or suggest a new project.
We are just getting started with this effort to external project work, so this process will evolve. Here are the moving parts for managing projects using this repository:
Feel free to suggest a new project by submitting an issue, or get involved in a specific project by jumping in on the issues or the discussions for each area of work.
These are the projects currently being moved forward in some capacity. Each project has a listing of to-do, in progress, and done tasks, as well as link to any open issues or discussions.
