OS Contribution:

Inspiration

I've been wanting to contribute to woman-founded open source project and work with YAML files. Lo and behold, I found an issue for creating an issue template in a project called Yuri's Coding Club.

What it does

This issue template provides detailed questions for contributors who want to improve the project's documentation.

How I built it

I first observed how other projects create their templates for documentation. I noticed that most of them did not having sections where contributors discuss the benefit of their proposed solution, so I added this section. In doing so, contributors would think deeply about how to present their ideas.

Challenges I ran into

In my terminal, I kept getting errors for using the value description for each textarea. At first, I was going to give each one a different name, but then I remembered that the maintainer wanted that value, so I decided to stick with their request.

Accomplishments that I'm proud of

I managed to complete this contribution pretty quickly so I'm proud of myself for doing this. I'm also happy that I fulfilled my Hacktoberfest goal to contribute to projects founded by women.

What we learned

Through this experience, I learned that it's sometimes best to fulfill the maintainer's requirments.

What's next for OS Contribution:

I'm currently creating a footer for Yuri's Coding Club project, so I have a goal to complete it before Hacktoberfest ends.
