@vektorious I think there are some things missing:
First aspect of building for open is a good documentation of your product release, how it is used how to replicate it etc. (If you dont have a product that people can use, your chances are low ). 👉 Check this one, is very good: - What no body tells you about documentation
If you are in a beta phase, with a nice idea you might want to start focused on a project and use different tools that allow people to jump in. This can go from repositories, to google docs, and google drives.
Communicating changes in your product, changelogs, and roadmaps.
Developing educational resources, guides and how tos.
Assignments:
- Create issues for contributors to jump into your project
- Write your contribution guidelines
- Who is participating and who is not in your project? Think of strategies for engaging and including wider audiences, and define your community guidelines (or code of conduct).
- If you have new hypothesis and ideas update your canvas. What would you do to validate these ideas, what experiments would you design?
Hm. I'm not sure if I wrote the Assignments but I thought its more about first timer issues to newbie contributors. (Task 1). Maybe we just have to rephrase it? I agree with everything else!
Agree @vektorious!
Alex: edited it a bit.
I updated your post.
Hi, I'm not sure where we told people, before now, that they should create issues for contributors.
It's also a bit difficult for me to understand why we change now on things that were agreed, taking into account our heads are on the urgent right now, and we don't have that much time to reflect. I'm ok with changing details, adjusting. But the main exercise of the week?
Week 6: Building for open
Your project grows when more and more diverse people jump in and contribute to it. This week you will go through a set of principles, values and concrete tools that will help you lower access barriers for your users and contributors, besides designing strategies for ensuring a welcoming space for everyone.
Goal of the week: Create entry points for contributors and users (Contributor User channels)/ Websites, issues, repositories, labels, code of conduct.
