Project Ideas

Documenting the Use of CHAOSS Diversity & Inclusion Metrics in Practice

Work with CHAOSS D&I working group members to identify metrics that are being used by open source projects. Connect with the projects that are using the identified metrics and document that use for others to orient themselves on how the CHAOSS D&I metrics are being deployed. This may include writing focused how-to guides for specific metrics. The documentation would be collected in the CHAOSS D&I repository and could additionally be prepared for other dissemination forms to reach a wider audience.

Write a conceptual overview CHAOSS D&I metrics and refactor existing documentation

Work with CHAOSS D&I working group members to develop a conceptual framing for D&I metrics. The work so far has focused on defining individual metrics, resulting in much detail that is not uniformly presented. A technical writer can improve the information architecture, revise how a reader can drill down into the details, and make it easier to understand D&I metrics as a whole.The documentation would be collected in the CHAOSS D&I repository and could additionally be prepared for other dissemination forms to reach a wider audience.
