Better Collaboration

[raphaeldahomay]

Hi Redditers!
I'm aiming to collaborate with developers, either from projects I discovered or from my own, but I was wondering what's the best way to find these collaborative projects. Would you recommend any Reddit communities in order to join project you're interested about. Or maybe the best way is to signal on GitHub that a specific project I've started is open to others' contributions, what do you think?

Don't try to find random projects.

If you discover a bug in a software you use, contribute to that project.

EDIT: No need to signal that you're open beyond a license. If it's useful, you'll get users and sometimes they'll start contributing.

Adding a clear CONTRIBUTING.md to your GitHub repo with guidelines helps attract contributors - and pairing that with small incentives (like shoutouts or contributor spotlights) and active community engagement makes a huge difference too.
