contributr

An online tool for programmers to find projects they can contribute to and project maintainers to find contributors.

What is contributr?

contributr is an online tool that helps contributors to find projects they can contribute to based on their interests and skills. It can also help projects owners and maintainers find potential contributors.

how would this work?

You login with your Github account, contributr finds projects based on your interests and skill levels. You now have a list of projects you can start contributing to!

when will it be ready?

When it is ready. It'll take a little time to get started, since it's a learner-group project.

What is contributr built with?

python!!! Or more specifically, django. The whole idea started as a django learning group, and so it's all been built from the bottom up from there.

Installation

the usual,

• clone the git repo or download a zip
• install the dependencies
• run the django project

How do I contribute?

I highly suggest you fork the repo and start from there.

If you want to join the learning group, just fork the repo, and follow us on the slack channel.

You can create an issue for a feature or a bug and follow up with a pull-request. IF you're a novice regarding all this, read up Github's excellent documentation.

Features

Can be any small little thing that you just learnt about, or something BIG that is complex, but awesome! contributr has space for everything.

How about just ideas?

Great! Come join our group-talks at slack and fire away all those awesome ideas in your brain.

Testing?

Sure! In fact, the more tests you run, the better chance you have at catching bugs! So you can write tests, welcome! If you can run tests and find bugs, still welcome!
