Goal:
To help Open Source projects lure humans into getting involved [and
continue working] with their project. So essentially this means
creating a "Get Involved" framework for projects to use. Also, methods
for project self-evaluation will be provided.
- Ref: http://teachingopensource.org/index.php/Teaching_Get_Involved
Status:
Planning, research and some wiki content. Somewhat stalled.
Progress:
I've started evaluating a few projects that seemingly do it right
(like Ubuntu and Fedora) and am searching for others. I'm also
evaluating "Choosing a project" that teaching FOSS resources usually
discuss.
Plan:
- Determine the elements that make up "Get Involved"
- Create a "Get Involved" outline
- Fill out the outline
- Apply this work to creating "Get Involved" for the PHP project
All contributors, advice, ideas and encouragement welcome.
Regards,
Philip
