The Open Source Guide helps people learn how to build, grow, and contribute to open source projects. We're looking for fresh ideas to keep the guides useful, inclusive, and up to date—and we’d love your input!
👀 What content would you like to see?
Are there topics you wish were covered?
What would have been helpful when you were getting started?
What’s missing for maintainers, contributors, or project communities?
💬 What content would be most useful to you?
We’re especially looking for:
New guide ideas
Updates or improvements to current guides

I haven't read through all the guides -- they are very helpful
Different formats for the guide -- there is so much content to read, I would like to read it in PDF form or on a kindle. (Dare I say - audio? I learn better that way.
Governance models
models of governance & examples
what hierarchy and when in the lifecycle
what is too much structure too early and what is not enough
CoC suggested procedures - and how to do the hard stuff
Example of how to make difficult decisions and use enforcement

One idea: A guide on securing your project’s dependencies. Many open source maintainers rely on npm packages or other ecosystems, but don’t have good visibility into supply chain risks. A guide could cover things like detecting malicious packages, vetting new dependencies, using tools like Socket, and reducing attack surface. Would be super helpful for both new and experienced maintainers. Happy to help outline this if useful.
