FOSS central hub project idea
-
Hello!
I've been using FOSS on my phone, laptop and desktop for a few years now and never had the opportunity or the bravery to contribute to any project.
I've been thinking for a while now, how could I give something to the community?
I'm a web developer, so obviously that's what this project idea is all about. A website where we can have a few things, very useful for the FOSS community.
I wanted to ask the lemmy community what they think about it, because maybe it already exists something similar or if you have some ideas or feedback.
The idea:
As mentioned before, I'm planing on a creation of a "central hub" for the FOSS community.
I was thinking on a website where we can have:
-
Events/Calendar: A place where we can see in a simple way all the events, meets up or similar in the FOSS community, with a calendar to see the exact dates and events with a filter to be able to select specific countries or tags.
-
Documentation: A place where we can create documentation for projects that don't have the documentation or is very basic.
-
Ideas: A place where we can share ideas for projects, look for people to/for help or look for feedback and try to make them real.
-
Tracker: A place where we can log in with our GitHub/Codeberg/GitLab... accounts and be able to track all the project we are contributing in a simple way.
These are my early ideas and what I've been thinking about.
Maybe some of them won't see the light, maybe all of them or even more things will see light.I would love to see what you guys have to say about this idea!
Thanks for taking your time reading this!

What license will the content of Central Hub be under?
Didn't think about that to be honest as i don't really understand a lot.
Any suggestions? -

Any suggestions?You could use CC BY 4.0 as a first option or the various options offered by Creative Commons, but you could also use the FreeBSD Documentation License, GDFL, or Free Art License.
But if you want it to be in the public domain, you can use CC0 or a license equivalent to the public domain.

wrote last edited by [email protected]The most important part for me is discussion of new or existing projects. Right now I'm just typing in alternative to name of proprietary software into a search engine
Maybe that's actually how to approach it, for each project name some proprietary software it can replace in the order of what percentage of functionality it can replace

Something like the "ideas" section i wrote? but not only for new ideas but for existing ones too?

Yeah, would be cool to feature all of the projects and let people comment why they like it over the other ones.
