Does contributing to OSS count?

[safwansamsudeen]

There's this project - frappe/gantt - that I've worked on a lot in the past. There are many new issues and I'd like to work and publish a new version. I will be doing this on my own, basically (the Frappe org seems to have Gantt on unmaintained) - would this count towards Arcade?

Thanks!

Yes, this would absolutely count!

It meets the following requirements:

• A project is a self-directed creative effort toward an output that other people can meaningfully experience.
• The journey of each project must be shared in a public git repository, with at least one update committed per hour logged.

It also feels like it meets these "grey area" requirements:

How technical is this project?
Is this person pushing themselves?
Does this project feel wholesome?
Is this a highly self-directed project?
Is this a good story?
Am I amazed?
