What do you do that doesn't require authentication?
- saagarjha 3y agoRead code and issues mostly.
- jahsome 3y agoIt's rather pedantic, but I wouldn't call that participating. That's more in the realm of observation. An account has always been required for active participation, e.g. committing directly to any repo, submitting a PR, opening an issue, etc.
- saagarjha 3y agoYes, and I use an account for those. But I value not having to use an account for any work before that, which is just a crucial.
- acedTrex 3y agoYou can still do that without being logged in, thats also not participating in open source. More observing open source then anything
- saagarjha 3y agoThese are prerequisites to what I suspect you have in mind when you consider open source participation. Of which I do a decent amount, logged in of course, but this comes first.
