Elevate contribution to a tab
How can we increase and invite contribution to Pajamas in a "boring solution" kind of way?
Inspired by the Discussion tab in https://designsystem.gov.au/components/buttons/discussion/ (thanks @mle for tweeting about this site, it's awesome) I'm exploring a Contribute tab.
What would go in there?
- A bit of a text preamble with a link to the Getting started > Contribute page.
- We already have links in the footer to related issues and merge requests. It'd be worth repeating here when either are available.
- Occasional links to research efforts, polls, questionnaires, hackathons, etc. It'd be great to have some passive, evergreen items like that where someone could provide feedback.
What does this solve?
- Reenforcing that "everyone can contribute," while creating more visibility on how.
- What I especially liked about the Australian Government Design System example is how I felt invited into the conversation. It wasn't just one-way information. It also felt very transparent to reference discussion happening behind the scenes that you might normally not be privy to.
