The TOSFairness Repo is Now Public--WHAT NOW? #104

Open monroemann opened 5 years ago

monroemann commented 5 years ago

By doing so: a) It shows we're really a charity in our mission b) It will help us enlist more help without bringing people on staff c) It serves as a 'proving ground' for potential staff coders d) It may help us spread the word, because coders working on this will probably talk to their friends

Thoughts?

I'm not against it. Might be a good way to get talent as you said.

RosePatels commented 5 years ago

I agree! I think this could be a good idea

monroemann commented 5 years ago

I need to know the pros. Why? but more importantly, the cons.

hrbrnd commented 5 years ago

Are we aware of https://github.com/tosdr/tosdr.org (site: https://tosdr.org/) I posted this a while ago but not sure if you saw. They opened their app up to the public and do TOS reviews. The con of opening this up might be wasted time reviewing faulty code. A pro would be getting more feedback and perspective on this site but I am unfamiliar as to how many people would be interested in working on this, as far as a lack of knowing this is here.

monroemann commented 5 years ago

Interesting! I didn’t know anyone else did this.

Their reviews aren’t as good as ours. I don’t think they are done by attorneys.

But yes, it’s competition.

If we open the repo up publicly people will just find it on github. The main website was public at first and suddenly random people started contributing.

Making it public may help get more people to know about what we are doing...

We need to make a decision on this. Should we give it a try for one month and see what happens? @emestabillo @moeen @chen-robert @raerayc @ShreePatel95

RosePatels commented 5 years ago

We can try it for one month and see. If we don't like the results of this, we can always make it private again

monroemann commented 5 years ago

Is there one more person who agrees that we give it a try for a month or two?

raerayc commented 5 years ago

I agree. we can try it for one month to see if it works

Okay, public it shall become!

monroemann commented 5 years ago

Okay, the repo is now public. Now ANYONE can clone the repo, see the code, make branches, and push pull requests.

The question now is: what do we do? Should we fill up the repo will 50 issues that we need handled, and start to actively share this repo link in all the other slack groups we are a part of, and see what happens? What other ideas do you guys have?

monroemann commented 5 years ago

Can someone do research on how to manage a public repository and encourage contributions?

monroemann commented 5 years ago

If we do this right, this could be a HUGE publicity and marketing boon for us, if we can get hundreds of coding contributors, and turn this site into an amazing place for helpful information.

RosePatels commented 5 years ago

Yes, so we can do exactly that. We can add issues to the repo and then share with other slack groups. Let's see if people come and help. Also, we aren't sure if we are going to LIKE their work because we've had some difficulty with coders D:
