The @devcontainers-community's mission is to be a centralized source for community-maintained features, templates, images, GitHub Actions etc. that are of high-quality similar to those of the official @devcontainers organization, but for additional popular tools, languages, environments, etc.

We want to avoid atrophy by investing into the community-based approach to maintenance that has been successful in other communtiy orgainzations like @asdf-community. This means making it as easy as possible to contribute. 🤝

This is, however, a fallback option for languages and tools that do not have official awesome-tool/my-feature or related repositories to self-maintain within that community. If you are an individual who is part of a popular tool, consider authoring your own feature repository! ❤️

If you're interested in joining this organization, that's awesome! 🤩 We love new members and new ideas!

Scope

Here's some specific examples of things that are in scope for this organization:

• Maintaining popular language features, images, and templates that @devcontainers does not cover.
• Adding existing community members who have are interested in or maintain Dev Container things.
• Highlighting good community-authored documentation, features, images, templates, and other content through an awesome list.

Besides these core goals, there's some other important things that are deliberatly omitted from the scope, and are better tackled elsewhere:

• Writing or maintaining Dev Container-related documentation. This is best done by individuals, but can be highlighted in an awesome list.
• Maintaining forked versions of the official @devcontainers projects. If you can improve the official product, that's better than a community fork!
• Maintaining custom versions of existing officially provided awesome-tool/devcontainer-thing projects from other organizations like rocker-org/devcontainer-features. ❤️
