Posted on IRC / Riot by @/thematizer (dunno what your username is on here, sorry!) this looks like a good overview toolkit that we should contribute to and talk about:

> **[Welcome | Open Design Kit](http://opendesignkit.org/)**
>
> Open Design Kit: methods for doing distributed design

It reminds me of this thing that we have, just _quite_ a bit better:

> **[Open Source Checklist](http://opensourcedesign.net/foss-contributors-checklist/)**
>
> A checklist for open source projects.

It’s an initiative by @iamjessklein, with the help of others 🙂  
She presented it at the [local NYC meetup](https://discourse.opensourcedesign.net/t/new-york-ny-usa/138) last week.

Yes!

Thanks @xuv for pinging.

@pdurbin I’m working on a post to share my slides from my presentation from last week but it would be AMAZING if more people contributed to this project to make it better and more accessible. I will update this feed when the slides/post is up.

Ah, I see you’re the number 1 commiter, @iamjessklein . Cool. I’m looking at [https://github.com/open-design-kit/opendesignkit/graphs/contributors](https://github.com/open-design-kit/opendesignkit/graphs/contributors)

I see you’re using a “help wanted” label on GitHub issues too. Great. You seem to be doing everything right. 🙂

Very happy to see that the kit now has a standard license – the liberal CC-BY!
