I want to work on an issue but someone else has already started?
We do not limit the number of people that can start work on an issue. You can see the number of contributors from the Issue page and the Issue listing page. If you are concerned that your work might not get seen you can always comment on the issue and ask how the other contributors are getting on.
How do I get paid for my work?
Only issues that indicate a value will result in you being paid for your work. The repo maintainer is solely responsible for the approval of your work and the pay out will be issued following approval. The company responsible for the issue retains the access to money and upon completion will transfer the money through Paypal or their payment provider of choice. In the future we hope to implement a solution in which the money is held in escrow with payments being released when work is merged.
How do I get started?
To complete an issue it’s easy, just find an issue that you find interesting and hit start work. Then follow these steps: Fork the repo, clone the project and you should then find setup instructions in README. Take your time to complete the issue and once it’s ready submit your PR on GitHub and don't forget to link the issue to it. Relax and wait for the maintainer to review your PR. As soon as you start work on an issue the maintainer will be alerted via the WorksHub platform.
Why should I contribute?
Around 80% of the world’s companies run on some open source software. The future of our platform is to use this code as a way to test, engage and build engineering teams. In the meantime, if you want to provide value to your experience (beyond resume buzz words) or learn a new tech using production code then our issues are made for you. We ask all company maintainers to write a repo README that makes it as easy as possible for new developers to set up and contribute.
