docs: add growing your project section

Open CBID2 opened this issue 2 months ago • 14 comments

Description

This PR adds a section to the Maintainers Guide on growing open source projects. It will give maintainers an idea on how OpenSauced can help them with this process.

What I have done so far

  • [x] Add growing-your-project.md to docs > maintainers

  • [x] In sidebar.js, add `maintainers/growing-your-project' path below the guide: "maintainers/maintainers-guide-to-open-sauced",

  • [x] In growing-your-project.md, create the following sections:

    • [x] When to grow your project (brief explanation of need to get more contributors or add people to teams (maintainers, triage, docs)

    • [x] How to identify new contributors and team members

      • [x] Look at existing contributors. How is there participation? Are they engaged? Are they invested in the success of the project?
      • [x] Create an insight page with your projects. Add the most active contributors to a list.
    • [x] Recruiting team members and contributors

      • [x] Create an insight page with projects similar to yours. Add contributors you think might be a good fit to a list. After spending some time monitoring, reach out to them.
    • [x] Understanding Team Participation.

      • [x] It's important to monitor team participation. Once you have someone on a team, add them to your list to monitor your participation. (Use the team sync feature -- link to the gif). It's useful to set a timeframe for how active they need to be.
