Diversity and Inclusion MVP

[iteles]

We've been approached to discuss working on a D&I MVP. This is an MVP in the sense that it will most likely be the bringing together of a number of existing platform, or at least 2 with a bespoke layer at the centre.

Before going any further, it is likely that timelines will be a factor here so we have agreed to discuss availabilities before anything else.

After a lot of back and forth, it was clear that we weren't going to be able to create any reusable components here and the learning was very little (a little on Typeform and Tableau APIs, but even this was starting to slip in scope).

This and timelines meant this product was not a good fit for us in the end (a shame, because the cause was good!).

@iteles agree with all the above. Really wanted to work on this. But the fixed mindset of "no open source" and the timelines not working out are conclusive. In our own way we will be building a platform that encourages diversity and inclusion. And it will be 100% Open Source/Culture https://github.com/dwyl/home
