Hi 👋 Welcome to the Open Source Raid Guild ⚔️
Find Target Communicate Raid Push Code
The OSS Raid Group is what happens when you combine MMORPGs (Gamification), Mob Programming, Crowdsourcing, and Open Source Software - a group dedicated to defeating the Raid Bosses of OSS!
For those who aren't aware of these 'gamer' terms, and even those that are; here are the definitions we use when operating as a Raid Guild.
| Phrase | Definition |
|---|---|
| Raid | A Raid is the OSS project's issue that we are working to resolve - see how we converted react-hooks-testing-library to TypeScript for an example |
| Raid Boss | The Raid Boss is the large issue/problem domain that we are 'fighting' to resolve |
| Open Source Raid Guild (OSRG) | The collective noun for all contributors to the Raid |
| Raid Repo | The repository for the current Raid that has been forked into the OpenSourceRaidGuild Org |
| Dungeon | The working fork repository that the Raid is operating inside of; multiple Raids can occur in one Dungeon but only one Raid at a time |
Storyline Quest (mission) 📜
Objectives:
- To make contributing to OSS enjoyable, engaging, and with a low barrier-to-entry for those who have never done it before
- To have a high impact in a small amount of time; specifically targetting low-medium contributor activity, medium-high usage of the project, with only a handful of maintainers
What it's about:
- It's about winning the Raid as a group, not about who made the biggest contribution(s).
- It's about learning together; teaching each other, flattening the learning curve.
- It's about having fun and getting into something you may not have done on your own.
- Its's about lowering or even removing the bar of entry for OSS contributing for everyone.
- Most of all it is about having FUN!

Workflow
When participating in a Raid, use the following steps.

Migrate page-header/breadcrumbs tests to testing-library - Fork the Raid Repo (Raid Git Workflow)
- Create a branch named after your GitHub username - e.g.
nobrayner - Hack away
😎 💻 - Create a PR titled the same as your issue, and a description of
