Plugins

Overview

The Gatsby User Collective is here to address a common issue within the open-source community: the maintenance of plugins. Often, original authors of these plugins may find themselves unable or unwilling to continue their work, leaving the software in a state of disrepair. This initiative aims to democratize the maintenance of Gatsby plugins by allowing a broader group of individuals to contribute, ensuring these important tools remain functional and up-to-date.

With a goal of fostering collaboration and support among users, the community encourages participation in a structured, open manner. They are not just looking to create a pool of free labor but are interested in enabling users to solve their own problems while helping others along the way.

Features

• Community-driven Maintenance: The collective aims to empower multiple contributors to take an active role in maintaining plugins, reducing reliance on a single author.

• Collaborative Problem Solving: As issues arise, the community works together to find solutions in an open format, promoting transparency and shared learning.

• Encouragement of Contributions: Contributors are welcomed regardless of the type or level of involvement, allowing for a diverse range of input and support.

• Flexible Support Options: While community assistance is available, individuals with urgent needs are encouraged to consider sponsored solutions to ensure timely resolutions.

• Comprehensive Code of Conduct: A clear set of guidelines helps foster a respectful and productive atmosphere for all contributors, ensuring a positive experience within the collective.

• Acknowledgment of Contributions: The project follows the all-contributors specification, recognizing and appreciating the efforts of all individuals who contribute to the collective's success.
