that page is purdy but it really should explain what it's about. what's the plan. all i can tell is that it involves Git and they want an email. to be more specific: what is it beyond what we already have today with something like GitHub?
- chrisbaglieri 16y agoFor developers, we're about connecting them to projects that they'll likely be interested in contributing to; these projects may or may not be most forked or trending. A lot of repository identification is word of mouth which, for those on on the outer rings of the open source community, may be lacking. We want to change that. For maintainers, we're about finding developers to fill the needs of their projects. Open sourcing is step one, promoting and keeping traction can be tough. We want to arm maintainers with more to help accomplish this. For businesses that rely on the open source code contributors and maintainers support, we want to provide a platform that they can leverage whether it's support or issue resolution. Businesses win because they get fixes, for example. Maintainers and contributors win being rewarded for their efforts. We have several other ideas we're exploring; lot's more to come.
