Open

Description

Right now, we have a Maintainers section. It includes a basic guide on how to use OpenSauced for maintainers. But what if maintainers want to grow their project? How can they do that with OpenSauced?

Implementing the section

  • Add growing-your-project.md to docs > maintainers
  • In sidebar.js, add `maintainers/growing-your-project' path below the guide: "maintainers/maintainers-guide-to-open-sauced",
  • In growing-your-project.md, create the following sections:
    • When to grow your project (brief explanation of need to get more contributors or add people to teams (maintainers, triage, docs)
    • How to identify new contributors and team members
      • Look at existing contributors. How is there participation? Are they engaged? Are they invested in the success of the project?
      • Create an insight page with your projects. Add the most active contributors to a list.
    • Recruiting team members and contributors
      • Create an insight page with projects similar to yours. Add contributors you think might be a good fit to a list. After spending some time monitoring, reach out to them.
    • Understanding Team Participation.
      • It's important to monitor team participation. Once you have someone on a team, add them to your list to monitor your participation. (Use the team sync feature -- link to the gif). It's useful to set a timeframe for how active they need to be.
