[UPDATE] Project Statuses

[gbowne1]

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.

This full stack React social media app has come to a bit of a stale standstill halt. It started about 6-7 months ago when I was intending to develop a useable platform if anything, an open source model for one, that can be enjoyable to use. Admittedly so, I haven't been able to contribute to this project as much as I had hoped to in the beginning. Some of it due to lack of knowledge the rest due to work obligations taking priority and I am sure that the other maintainers have the same.

My intention was to create a platform to target people over the age of 40-45 if not seniors. I also had thought about targeting Twitch, Instagram, YouTube, Facebook, X/Twitter, reddit, etc. creators.

Currently we have @manuel12, myself and @pawel975 as core maintainers. I would like at least 3 more and the possibility of assigning permanent roles in the development of this project whether they be frontend, backend or another role.

I am looking for collaborators, maintainers, contributors to be active in:

• [ ] Create and/or Finish Groups pages and features

• [ ] Create Friends system components and pages and features

• [ ] Create and Fininsh the User Profile and methods

• [ ] Help complete and triage already existing issues

• [ ] UI/UX design with Figma and draw.io

• [ ] Work on writing e2e, unit and integration tests along with @manuel12

• [ ] DevOps and Developer Experience workflows especially newcomers to the project

• [ ] Docker, .devcontainer and possibly even k8s

• [ ] Documentation including user, API and Developer docs including internationalization and translation into various language

• [ ] work on the Wiki adding docs for developers, api, user documentation

• [ ] Help with maintaining GitHub (triage issues, etc. and respond to issues, create issues, bug reports, etc. discussion)

• [ ] enhance project by adding Visual Studio Code settings, recommending extensions

• [ ] A11y Accessibility testing

• [ ] Cross device / cross browser testing

• [ ] work on creating better issue, PR, discussion, project, feature labels

• [ ] work on creating and maintaining SQLite databases in preparation for using the final implementation of the database

• [ ] cross browser and cross device testing especially Linux, Mac, Windows, Chrome, Firefox and other devices like laptops and tablets.

• [ ] Work on the https://github.com/users/gbowne1/projects/22 tab and create different Kanban views.

• [ ] Reduce the number of issues x at least 20 so we can get to building features

Describe the solution you would like

Active maintainers, collaborators and contributors.

Describe the alternatives you have tried

Moving to a GitHub Organization or moving this project to another code hosting platform.

Org mode would allow us to create and develop additional libraries etc on top of RSN.

Additional context

Let us know how you would like to contribute to this project.

I especially want to be able to have something to show off later in the year. The idea is work on a feature

I also still want some more core maintainers. Right now we've just been doing package updates and keeping packages up to date.. I also havent had the kind of time it would require to implement a lot of this stuff but stuff on my end is changing so will be able to help. Also look to improve and test the overall code base we have so far.
