Have you heard of ACLU v. Clapper, HLP v. DoJ, Doe v. Ashcroft, or US v. Moalin? Parent acknowledges decades of degradation and points to thorns like these.
I actually did take a look at this before, but I assumed it was for already-pro and already-popular projects. However, after taking a look again and after having exhausted all the options, I can see there's a few projects there that have only a handful stars on GitHub. Maybe I should try submitting my project to the admin.
Of course. Like most people, I am inclined to first look through GitHub or other places to see if someone already has a solution for the problem I am trying to solve. I am not too keen on reinventing the wheel. The stuff that I am talking about is indeed something that nobody has made before, at least publicly and as free software. And, to be clear, stuff that is more complicated than stitching three existing programs together with a 12-line Bash script.
This is a cool website, though. I bookmarked it, although I haven't encountered a situation yet where I felt like I could make a PR within my technical skill that meaningfully improves the free software on my computer for everyone.
what do you think? If this site helped you find exactly the repo where you could jump in and contribute would that like solve the itch you are trying to scratch?
This is an excellent idea. I would be most interested in viewing repositories that are just gaining momentum, because they often mean software that might be niche and solve unusual problems. Sometimes they plateau at a 50 star count on GitHub, too, but that doesn't mean they aren't tremendously useful.
