Finding a Great Project to Work On, or Great People to Work on Your ProjectDeb Nicholson, MediaGoblin January 12th, 2015
“Don't put up with any crap”Shauna Gordon-Mckeon
Are their current contributors happy?
Are they teaching people to fish?
Code isn't everything
When a project has contributors with lots of different skills
When coders think they can do all the “soft skill” tasks
Start up a conversation as soon as possible
(this should be the easy part)
Just contact us through this box.
A good website should function as a welcome wagon
A healthy project will be happy to greet new people
Find something interesting to you
Non-coders are the same
But they're also different
How some other folks have found great projects
Look for a Code of Conduct
Look for participation in outreach programs
