Hi WikiTreers!
Hacktoberfest has been going on this month and participants have been busy adding to the Tree Apps and the WikiTree Browser Extension (WBE) projects on GitHub!
A big thanks to everyone participating! (If I left out what you're doing, post below or we'll get it in next week's update.)
Participants can communicate with others in these places:
- G2G - I will make a weekly post (like this one) where you can ask any questions or give updates on what you've been doing. You can also use G2G to ask other WikiTreers for feedback on what you are working on.
- Discord - If you register and therefore have your Hacktoberfest badge, you will have access to the #hacktoberfest channel on the WikiTree Discord Server.
- WikiTree Apps Google Group - Any question you ask here will go out to the members of the WikiTree Apps Project.
- GitHub - The Issues section of the repositories have a few discussions going on.
Need ideas on what to work on?
Is there some sort of chart or report that has helped you with your genealogy research? Perhaps you could add it as a new Tree App.
Is there some feature you wish was added to the WikiTree site, or do you wish the layout of some page was different? You could probably add it as a feature to the browser extension.
People have been making suggestions on what features they would like to see in this G2G post.
You can also check the issues pages on GitHub to see what needs to be worked on.
Still have no idea where to start?
Let me know, and I'll work with you to find something appropriate for your experience and skill level.
For those who want to participate but haven't signed up yet, you can register for Hacktoberfest here.
For those who want to know what we've been working on but aren't participating, there is going to be a Live Chat on Thursday October 26th at 1pm Eastern (5pm UTC).
