What do "YOU" need to realize those improvements?

+3
−0

I have finally noticed why there is sometimes a "How can we grow this community" in the Featured box and why it is missing on Meta...

There are separate pages for each community! Which I think is a good idea to get special ideas tailored to the community.

I have now read through the Software-Development "Improve" page and found a really huge amount of very precisely pointed out flaws, mainly in terms of Search Engine Optimization and Navigation and also Site Concept ("Etiquette", "How to treat the users").

I have not checked other sites, but I suspect the suggestions are either similar or special and of the same level of quality.

Most of the posts are about a year old.

This makes me think...

...finding the ideas is not the problem.

...but what is needed by the "behind-the-scenes" people to realize them?

  • Where are the parts where hands-on-help would be great?

  • Is there a concept or decision-making been approved to pave out the way to go yet?

  • Maybe there is a backlog already and I am not aware of anything (I am fairly new here, after all).

  • Can someone give me some pointers or some high-level-executive give some insight/status on plans and "How to get your hands dirty"?

(And maybe this or a similar question could be made sticky?)

More active developers with time to implement improvements to the codebase. The pool is limited. I was going to contribute myself, but have found myself in a situation where I stopped programming due to changes to my life and health.

There is a huge backlog. If you're able and willing to, within the confinements of Codidact's goals, help with the codebase on Github if you have the knowledge and skills necessary. You can also join the Discord development server if you'd like to (Discord is used until a replacement has been made, but it is not prioritized due to developer shortage.)

Some specific links related to the previous message:

  • Discord server for Codidact (general chat about the various communities)
  • Discord server for contributors (not just people who write code - this also covers improving documentation, and discussion of bugs and potential new features)
  • Codidact Collab (A Codidact community for questions about how to contribute to the codebase, or to get a local copy running on your computer)
  • Roadmap (Things that are already planned and may need people to work on)
  • Issues (Bugs or feature requests, some of which just need to be worked on, others need discussion)
