#helpwanted

GitHub issues that need your help. 👏

What

Easily gather all of the help wanted issues from any GitHub projects you choose, and show them off in one place.

Why

Open source is hard. Organizing lots of volunteers around lots of open source projects is even harder. This service is meant to create one easy place to point volunteers to.

How

  1. Sign in with GitHub
  2. Create a collection
  3. Add several GitHub organizations or repositories to pull issues from
  4. Send out the link to your collection, such as https://helpwanted.team/civic-tech
  5. Embed the issues in your own site, like https://helpwanted.team/collections/civic-tech/embed

Who

  • Tech Meetup Organizers
  • Code for America Brigades
  • Hackathon Organizers
  • Journalist groups
  • Universities
  • Any kind of organizations that maintains a bunch of open source projects

History

Help Wanted is my second take on this idea. It builds on the previous work of the https://github.com/codeforamerica/civic-issue-finder
