We hope the collective's mission has inspired you to follow the community's work, post your thoughts, and share your experiments. There are many ways to get involved and contribute to this movement.
We'd like to host several kinds of posts from different voices in the community. If you'd like to write something, please open an issue or get in touch.
Some of the types of content we have in mind include:
- Summaries of papers and projects in the community
- Reports of experiments in progress
- Essays on what malleable software should be and how we can get there
Along with the blog, we've also started a catalog of projects, people, discussions, and other efforts in this field. We hope it can grow to become a comprehensive list of resources for the community.
If you know of people, projects, threads, or anything else that should be added to the catalog, please feel free to edit the wiki. If you're not sure what should be added, but you'd like to help with the curation effort, there's a queue of items waiting to be added, and we'd be happy to have your help curating them. If curation sounds like too much work, please at least open an issue so it can eventually be added when someone has time to do so.
The about page for the catalog wiki describes the forum-focused process in a bit more detail, and hopefully it given enough guidance to start making a contribution. Once you have edited the forum-based wiki, a site admin will merge the wiki changes into this repo.
At the collective, we believe it's important to recognise all forms of contribution, so we're doing our best to record everyone involved in the process so we can feature them on the site. If you have made some kind of contribution, feel free to add yourself to the contributors list. A site admin may also do this for you.
If you would like to preview any changes made to the site, you should be able to do so locally:
- Install Hugo
- Clone this repo
- Fetch submodules as well:
git submodule update --init - Run
hugo serverat root level of the repo
Our CI system will also deploy a preview site once you open your PR, so it's easy for everyone to check over your contribution.
If you made it this far, thanks so much for your help! 😄
At the end of the day, we want this to be a space for anyone working to advance the goals of malleable software. If you have thoughts or feedback on how best to achieve that, please open an issue or send us a note.
