Tips for managing an open source community during the forming, storming, and norming phases
  • Frequently revisit documentation such as the quick start guide and maintainer guide to ensure they are up to date and remove barriers of entry
  • Acknowledge that disputes are unavoidable and have a code of conduct and governance in place before incidents occur
  • Establish coding standards to prevent mundane issues and remove nitpicky little problems
  • Respect volunteers as contributors and avoid treating them like employees
  • During the norming phase, revisit issue management strategies and use labels to streamline triaging and delegation of work
