The GitHub repo will be focused on software-level initiatives, whereas I’m talking more about product-level.
If the team is that small, then they need more people involved in product ownership, which is what I’m interesting in contributing towards (as others are too, I assume)
I think it's just too early for that level of formality. Basically they're swamped just actually executing changes versus the type of planning you're talking about. Maybe you can offer to help them in some way with that?
The issue with that approach (too busy to build structure), is that it’s a never ending battle. There is never a good time. It’s an easy trap to fall into.
The best way to be successful with products like this is to invest time early in building out the team. By doing so, you’re multiplying output and limiting tech debt.
I would even be happy to help with helping build out the team (identifying gaps, key roles, volunteers) as that’s something I’m experienced with.
None of this should come across as argumentative or being short. My understanding is it's just two people so I still think this isn't a time to have ideas. Shoot them a message on GitHub or whatever community they have set up for feedback and help build the ranks to get them to help they need.. ;)
If GitHub is the best way to get in touch for non-dev initiatives, then I'll do that. Thanks.
Sincere thanks for your drive help contribute!
Welcome to the Fediverse. I don’t think what you’re looking for can exist here. (And that’s by design…)
Lemmy is the software that ties the instances together. GitHub link was already provided.
Instances are run independently. Each has “product ownership” in just their own instance. There are over 10,0000 instances, and that number grows daily.
So you’re going to be trying to get 10,000+ cats to sit still for a group photo. Good luck!
That would be true for metrics/performance reporting, yes. It would make sense to build something that was opt-in for instance owners to submit data.
Regardless of the mechanism -- there will need to be some way to evaluate the performance impacts of changes that are continually being rolled out.
Thanks :)
Ah, PR
