triplescripts.org wiki:About

Revision as of 18:38, 27 November 2020 by Colby Russell (talk | contribs) (softer more detailed language re GitHub, NPM, NodeJS)

The triplescripts.org wiki is provided to the triplescripts.org community to encourage collaboration. The wiki is a (fairly) traditional Mediwiki installation generously provided by the Miraheze group.

Participating

Why should you participate in triplescripts.org?:

  • triplescripts.org cares about software longevity
  • most accessible software stack in the world
  • greenfield opportunities for building out the ecosystem

Who shouldn't participate in triplescripts.org?:

  • people who think uglification and other form of destructive compilation are an acceptable compromise
  • people whose foremost concern is conspicuous participation (including optimizing for making the GitHub contribution graph light up or their npm package rosters look full)
  • people who are enamored with the NodeJS and NPM ecosystems in general, especially including advocacy for what is considered best practice there, where the fact that something is considered best practice there is a major underpinning of the argument

It's possible that you're a programmer accustomed to doing things a certain way or getting certain returns from your bargain with society, and triplescripts.org's work doesn't jibe, so you seek to change that. Consider, though, that triple scripts may not be meant to be a solution for the problem you have in mind.

Above all, please try to embody the community values, and even if you choose not to participate, please do not try to harm our efforts.
