Publishing mature patterns in an online book at patterns.innersourcecommons.org
Publishing all structured patterns in an online book at patterns.innersourcecommons.org.
Benefits of the book
For Consumers/Readers
- have something that is “nicer” to read and navigate than markdown files on GitHub
- search for keywords across all patterns
- export book as PDF and read on other devices
- have stable URLs for patterns that can be used as references in other material e.g. from the Learning Path (i.e. even if the files move in the folder structure in the GitHub repo, we can keep the URL of the pattern in the book the same)
For Producers/Contributors
- a motivation for pattern authors and all contributors to level up patterns from 1-initial, as only 2-structured and 3-validated are published in the book
- a motivation for us to introduce more specific quality guidelines for level 2+3, so that we can be even more proud of the content in the book :)
- learn which patterns are most interesting for readers (e.g. through Google Analytics)
