Welcome to the Contributary wiki!

Contributary is a web application to help open source connect with the open source community.

The web application serves the purpose of providing an interface designed to help make the search for open source projects and issues as easy as possible.

Roadmap

At this time, a basic POC running locally has been developed, and the plan is now be to get it deployed into an environment along with all the various backend services and infrastructure that entails.

1. The short term goal is to deploy a version of the POC into a live environment via CI / CD and add some features / styles to it.
2. There will then be a beta / feedback period.
3. The long term goal (TBD) will be to improve data topology management (more automated) as well as provide users a sign in option to unlock additional features gained by having access to their GitHub profile, like starred repos, avatar, activity stream, etc.

Throughout, the goal will always be to provide a great browse and search experience to help users find the projects and communities their looking for. 💙
