Opensource.guide: Expand options for UX designers

Created on 15 Feb 2017  路  3Comments  路  Source: github/opensource.guide

Not sure where this best lives, but it'd be excellent to see more projects do things like Drupal's UX contribution requests so that designers other than graphic designers who are new to OSS can see they are welcome and find how to contribute.

I merged https://github.com/github/open-source-guide/pull/268 as it's an immediately useful improvement. More discussion and PRs welcome. I can imagine ones:

  • changing the language to excise code/non-code distinction (I see another issue for this #269 as I type...)
  • further refinement of https://opensource.guide/how-to-contribute/#do-you-like-to-design
  • work on https://opensource.guide/building-community/#meet-contributors-where-theyre-at ... an easy thing would be to just add another suggested label, a harder thing would be to distinguish between expertise-based and ~easy labels so it doesn't appear that non-programming-expertise-based ones are equivalent to ~easy.

That would be awesome. In a similar vein, I've just submitted a pull request to incorporate UX/UI into the How to Contribute guide. It's not perfect and I'd love to get some feedback on how to improve it, but I think it's a start: https://github.com/github/open-source-guide/pull/268/commits/944d6b9f232020a36167d82c46e3c8f3e17744bf

Hey @natdudley! It seems like #268 was a useful improvement. I also just added the Drupal example specifically in #345.

I'm going to close this issue as it seems it's been sufficiently addressed, but if anybody would like to tackle any of @mlinksva's suggestions above, or have ideas for other things they'd like to add, feel free to open a new issue or PR.
