Hi friends of Free Software,
just did a small search to see if there are guides out there that explain how
to give a change to a Free Software product. Do you know good ones?
This would be about
* Open a issue or discussion about the feature or fix.
* Write up arguments (technical details, what users are interested in)
* How to contribute code
It should be general (so not specific to a code hosting platform or a Free
Software product or community) and if possible from a credible source (one
where the potential conflicts of interest are known and one that works mainly
by journalistic or scientific standards).
Here are few that were _not_ a good match for me:
*
https://stackoverflow.blog/2020/08/03/getting-started-with-contributing-to-open-source/
( too mich on how to find anything to contribute to, no a specific one.)
*
https://www.linuxfoundation.org/resources/open-source-guides/participating-in-open-source-communities/
(too little on how to actually do it.)
* https://opensource.guide/how-to-contribute
(comes from one platform github)
* https://www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/~sgtatham/bugs.html
(About writing defect reports.)
* https://producingoss.com/en/index.html
(From the perspective of producing an FS product and building up a
development community.)
Ideas, anybody?
(Links in German also welcome.)
Best Regards,
Bernhard
