Set description, URL, topic tags for all MagicBox repos #4

Closed jwflory closed 6 years ago

jwflory commented 6 years ago

Summary

Set a simple description string, create topic tags, and add URL if necessary for all MagicBox repos

Background

All GitHub projects can set a description string that appears in global search and quickly summarizes the repo's purpose. A URL can also be set for extra reading or for a demo. Topic tags are a newer addition to help make projects easier to discover by major keywords.

Details

Description strings should be set by default for every MagicBox-related project. The same description detailed in #2 can be used.

If a repo has a live demo or an external resource for someone to read or try out the project, that should be set.

Topic tags are important and can also help organize projects internally and raise visibility outside of UNICEF. Some suggested topic tags:

Outcome

Projects are easier to find and understand at a glance, and are more inviting to someone who may discover a MagicBox project

For all the repos aggregated together in the GitHub Team, I set relevant topic tags and set the description / URL fields where applicable. Closing this as complete.
