Intro
This issue is to take over the conversation from NixOS/foundation#115 and avoid cluttering the original repo.
I guess here we can discuss all matters and decisions related to this repo.
My suggestion and conversation startes
Here's a few small-ish ideas to get the conversation kicking:
1 - turn the ideas file into a directory tree
Right now the Ideas file it's just a markdown file, I think it would be better if we make it a directory, with a nice README.md file (with explanation, example, requirements, etc..) and then each new idea can be its own directory. (with a README.md file, images, code examples and all needed other artifacts)
2 - make the readme more "jazzy"
I'll try to make the README more colorful/enticing for possible new-comers (see an example about what I mean HERE .. just an image or two maybe)
3 - create a Matrix room
We should try to foster collaboration and community as much as possible as it's at the heart of all this kind of events.
So I'm proposing we should create a few Matrix rooms like:
- #gsoc-staff:nix.org -> for the organising staff
- #gsoc-mentors:nix.org -> for the mentors and the staff
- #gsoc:nix.org -> for anybody that is interested, mentee, mentors, staff, students, curious ppl, etc..
outro
Hopefully that's enough of a conversation starter ๐ฌ
