    Offen Fair Web Analytics

    Offen is a fair and lightweight alternative to common web analytics tools. It’s self hosted software and all code is available at the offen/offen repository on GitHub. In this constellation, feedback and participation is especially important for us. In this article we’d like to share what we do to make our repo friendly and welcoming towards any kind of contribution from the community.

    This is a list of projects which have curated tasks specifically for new contributors. These issues are a great way to get started with a project, or to help share the load of working on open source projects. Jump in!

    The other aspect of labeling is the external ecosystem that has evolved around GitHub issues. For example, sites like Up For Grabs allow anyone to search for issues labeled help-wanted across all public repositories on GitHub. Good first issue lets you find issues labeled good first issue that are well suited for beginners. Applying such labels will connect you with others that otherwise wouldn’t know about your project in the first place.
