We have launched our wiki and forum that is built around collaboration on Libre projects. The aim is to create a community built around genuine and lasting connections, where people can work together on various projects across various disciplines - from artists to software developers…we hope to create a hub for skill-sharing and project creation.
In an age of instant connection, we are still remarkably lonely in our creative work. You can have a niche interest and instantly find someone across the globe who shares it — but sharing isn’t the same as collaborating. At some point in your creative journey, you may lack a specific skill or just need fresh ideas to move forward.
UnfinishedProjects is an attempt to connect you with other creative individuals and serve as a hub for open-licensed work. Our goal is to enable small, meaningful contributions across multiple projects, allowing us to move them forward together. It is an experiment in breaking isolation . . . an attempt to bring stalled ideas, or those simply too complex to finish alone, back to life through the power of collective contributions.
We aren’t just another place to talk about what we like. We don’t want to be yet another modern social media platform. We have faith in selfless connections and aim to build a place for meaningful and thoughtful discussions. We want to promote collaboration over self-promotion — a space where “incomplete” is not a shame or failure, but an opportunity to exchange with others, to build together, and eventually . . . to share the feeling of pride in what you’ve achieved.
We hope some of you will check out our platform as we try to establish our community.
Feel free to stop by our forum and introduce yourself at https://forum.unfinishedprojects.net/ - or read more about or community vision on our wiki at https://unfinishedprojects.net/wiki/About/Vision
In an age with modern social media and internet, it can sometimes be hard to sit down and dedicate time to build lasting relationships and communities, but we hope that our forum is taking a step in the right direction, and that you will help us build it into a community that brings back some purpose into our digital lives.
I’m honestly not sure how we will handle it as we grow, but for now I think that posting your project in the forums is more acceptable if you want to discuss it, but aren’t sure if it’s going to be openly licensed yet. As for the wiki, we will likely be more strict about the open licenses, since it is intended to be more of a collaboration space where others will contribute and adapt.
If you want to post about your project on the forum and you think you will likely pick an open license, just mention that you don’t yet have a license picked out and explain the situation.
Like I said, as we grow - we may get more strict with this if it’s taken advantage of, but if it’s posted in good faith and stated clearly, I’m ok with it for now.
