It seems we're behind on the April maintenance list.

Also, have we not opened a May maintenance list yet?

@i0natan @idori @refack @BrunoScheufler I'd like to help out, if that's okay.

[sagirk]

Update: Filed an issue for May 2018 maintenance.

[BrunoScheufler]

@sagirk yeah you're right, if you're up to adding the flowers for this list and create a PR, that would be helpful!

[goldbergyoni]

@sagirk Your help is much appreciated

[sagirk]

Opened a PR.

@i0natan @BrunoScheufler
Taken care of everything for April except this bit:

• Ensure all translations are aligned with the English version

What are the steps to ensure above?

[BrunoScheufler]

This is rather complicated due to the need of staying in contact with the translation groups, don't worry, we'll happily take care of that. Great job however!

[goldbergyoni]

@sagirk If you're up to additional improvements, we've bunch of improvement ideas in our bag waiting for someone to push them forward

[BrunoScheufler]

@i0natan do we? 😅

[goldbergyoni]

:)

Yeah:

1. Bibliography project - extracting all the sources we used into one list on the home page including books, bloggers, etc.
2. For each bullet, show list of top vendors with a comparison of the key metrics (e.g. monitoring solutions)
3. Others

I didn't ask from you to look into one of this because you seem busy but should you have time I'd be glad if you can handle some additional project

[BrunoScheufler]

Oh no worries 😄 I'll message you if I have the demand for these tasks!

[sagirk]

@i0natan I can start with the Bibliography project. Where can I learn more? Any existing issue/repo/example?

Just to be clear, this is different from the planned credit section, right?

[goldbergyoni]

@sagirk Thanks, this could be an amazing contribution. This includes the credits section but also other more strategic activities and goals. I'll share full-details, thoughts and steps by tomorrow morning. To be clear, it doesn't mean that you have to handle all work alone, rather you lead this and might delegate tasks to other team members

[goldbergyoni]

@sagirk @BrunoScheufler See the project I just added here: https://github.com/i0natan/nodebestpractices/projects

Read the bibliography project description. The aim is to enrich our content, but prioritize it by popular and important sources.

Let me know what you think.

[goldbergyoni]

@sagirk Is this something you'd like to lead (with our support and working hands of course)?

[sagirk]

@i0natan Yes, I'd love to. 🤝

I've been wondering for a while — where do I start?

The current card assigned to me seems too broad (and therefore, overwhelming — but that may perhaps be due, in part, to me thinking as an individual contributor, rather than a lead).

Is there a slack or something similar that the core team uses for discussions?

[goldbergyoni]

@sagirk I see your point, we can start small and expand this as we go.

For example:
Step 1- create a simple bibliography list on the home page, and put there all the sources we used. We have a data entry guy who can help with the extraction work (getting the URLs of all blogs from all the bullets), he can give you a plain list of author-url-title and you just place it within the bibliography

Step 2 (optional) - detect influencers, there are tools who can do that in 20min, then scan their blogs/books for additional quotes/examples. Or even ask from them, they'll love to appear in this list. I can do the first part of influencers detection

What do you think?

[sagirk]

@i0natan Sounds good.

A couple of follow-up questions:

1. How do I get in touch with the data entry guy?
   P.S.: Its been a fortnight since our last conversation, so if the extracted list is ready already, I can get started.

1. Yes, having you do the influencers detection would be helpful. I can get in touch with them and check if they would want to appear on the list.

[goldbergyoni]

@sagirk Cool

1. I'll do this on Monday and it will be probably ready by Tuesday
2. Cool, let's open a dedicated issue to chat about this?
