Hello there, I’ve just found this pretty cool project and thought it could be interests you.

It’s [https://contribute.design](https://contribute.design)

In a nutshell, it’s a directory on open source projects with instructions for designers to contribute to projects. The website provides a template for such repositories and a list of projects that uses it.

It can include a step by step description of the design process, assets, user interviews, user testing process, etc.

Sadly, I think it doesn’t get the recognition it deserves. The last commit was 7 months ago, and the last code commit was 3 years ago 😕

But still yeah I find it interesting, and I think it has a lot of potential. One thing I would find interesting to add to it, though, would be a kind of “resources” or “learning” section in that template to help people learn design too.
