Hey! So this is something that we are really interested in, and want to support. I've had about a dozen conversations about this, especially where someone has created packages for a larger piece of software which necessitates a deep knowledge of the core project.
I want to allow it, but I need to work out a way to do so whilst making sure that we don't end up with a free for all - that means manual review perhaps, but I agree that it would be very helpful if we can make it work.
Re GitHub - we've built on GitHub initially but would love to extend to other platforms in time!
- pessimizer 4y agoAs you've built a contracting platform targeting the best contributors to open source projects, you're collecting a group of people who are looking for work and are most fit to judge the abilities of others in the software they're expert at. Why not dogfood? I would say to maybe allow verified contributors/experts to invite others in under their account, and let them work from that context until they have enough feedback that they should be invited to join independently of their previous sponsor. My only real doubt is that even being a known contributor is going to be gamed unless there are clear processes for vetting and distinguishing between even the people who are verified contributors to a project, because some will be experts and some will not be.
- mintone 4y agoYeah - it's all in the vetting. I will dogfood a solution shortly!
