I hope you are well. I’m quite busy with my course, so i’m not there a lot. Sorry and thank you for animating this community and being kind. You are awesome. :)

During this week-end, i planned to advance french translation and the Piefed wiki. We decided a meeting with french translators so we can share our ideas and decide together about the most accurate translation.

And i thought why not inviting you. Yes, you ☺️

I purpose you a hackathon this week-end. Yeah, this idea just popped up in my mind. 😁

There is plenty things to do : documentation, translation…and not only PieFed (lemmy, mbin, nodeBB, loops, iceshrimp…)

We can coordinate our effort to make the fediverse a quite good place. If you want to do a hackathon for another software, i suggest to create a separate post and share its link in comment (we also need a way to centralize this event for better coordination). ☺️

Here is a draft of this idea. Nothing new but i want to setup a set of rules so we don’t waste our energy and time. :)

hackathon start the week-end, at the beggining of each month (depend of your need)
before the hackathon, we create a to-do list : documentation, code development, mobile app, translation, ads, UI, updating wiki, squashing small bug…everything missing.
in comment section, we create small team (code, wiki, communication…) and tell users : when ? How many people ? Topics ? And then, you self-organize together.

What do you think ? Would you be interested by those workshops ? Maybe you need more time and already have plan for this week ? We can repport it to March. Got another idea ? :3

I've never been a fan of hackathons or sprints.

Slow and steady wins the race.

Nit really. We talked several time about inclusive language in french without reaching a conclusion since several montha

The main goal is to invite news users to contribute together and form some team and works together. To create some teamwork, collective.

It is not intended to remplace it's current development but help us to advance on several topic as translation, communication, small bug.

I saw a hackathon for yeswiki and it worked quite great. Devs who usually worked far aways in various countries meet each other IRL, talked about their daily life, then discussed about their project, technological choice then coded during the whole week-end.

Honnestly, i think it is great way to know each other, have fun. As long you don't put an absurd deadline.
