How to contribute?

Participate in discussions

The discussions section is mostly designed for aligning contributors. In the discussions section, you can:

• Introduce yourself and how your skills can benefit the movement (e.g. I'm a graphist and I can help with poster design)
• Suggest a new idea that will help the movement (e.g. Twitter unsafe account detector)
• Participate on existing ideas by voting or commenting
• Ask your questions related to the movement (e.g. How does Starlink work?) or the projects

Note

This project does not support ideas or solutions that spread violence and destruction, or are globally illegal activities. Discussions that are categorized as such will be archived.

Work on projects

1. The celebrity wall

3. WeAreMahsaAmini Telegram bot
4. "Baraye Azadi" collection

Join our Discord server

We've set up a Discord server for adhoc communication. You can join it here.

Governance

Since WeAreMahsaAmini is an open-source project we are going to govern it as a team.

1. Ideas are being introduced by the community
2. The idea will be picked up by a project lead
3. A new repository will be created and the project lead will become the owner of the repo
4. The project lead is responsible for creating the contribution guidelines for the project
5. If the lead of a project steps down or the project becomes stale, another project lead can claim the project

We are going to discuss as a community what are the minimum requirements for becoming a project lead.
