DPG Contribution Readiness Framework

DPG Contribution Readiness Framework

The aim of this framework is to provide support to DPG organisations to understand where they are in terms of readiness for community contribution. Hence, we have defined it as a list which details 6 key & 16 sub-elements that need to exist for a product.

#	DPG Readiness Checklist
1	Documentation
1.1	Product set-up documentation available
1.2	Product ReadMe documentation available with basic details
1.3	Code Documentation with code coverage
1.4	DPG Architecture & design documentation present
2	Engagement with Community
2.1	Good First Issues listed across repos to enable contributors
2.2	Channel for communication/Forum for contributors eg: Discord, GitHub, Stackoverflow
2.3	Detailed community guidelines for open-source contributors
2.4	Working Group Meetings/Forums with the community with MOM for public access
3	Project Management
3.1	Updated project Management Boards (Eg: JIRA, GitHub)
3.2	Public assigning of tickets (for internal & external team members) to ensure transparency
3.3	Availability of public product roadmaps & a defined interval
4	Usage of open licences like MIT & Apache.
4.1	Use open licenses to allow for code re-use by adopters
5	Contributor Community
5.1	Active Engagement by external contributors on GitHub Tickets
5.2	PRs raised across repos by external contributors
6	Adopters Network
6.1	Number of Adopters leveraging building blocks
6.2	Number of public-integrations of the repo libraries (This will happen if the adopter is also public/open-source)

We will be sharing the benchmark for each sub-element as well to help understand what needs to be done for each item to help ensure the DPG gets maximum contribution.
