","html":"Hacktoberfest is a monthly-long\nprogram that celebrates open source and encourages you to contribute to open\nsource projects (and rewards you with stickers and a cool T-shirt!). Whether\nyou’re a seasoned contributor or looking for projects to contribute to for the\nfirst time, you’re welcome to participate!
\nIt is the 6th season of Hacktoberfest and the 2d year of participating for\nDVC.org team. We really enjoyed it in 2018 and this year we are upping the game\nwith our own cool stickers, special edition T-shirts and a\ncollection of carefully picked tickets.
\nIf you haven’t started your Hacktoberfest challenge yet, it is just the right\ntime, you have 3 weeks left to submit PRs and get your swag! Here are some\nimportant details:
\nAnd the special addition from DVC.org team:
\nDVC (Data Version Control) is a relatively young open source\nproject. It was started in late 2017 by a data scientist and an engineer to fill\nin the gaps in the ML processes tooling. Nowadays DVC is growing pretty fast and\nthough our in-house team is quite small, we have to thank our contributors (more\nthan 100 in both code and docs) for developing DVC with us.
\nDVC is participating in Hacktoberfest for 2 years in a row to bring more people\ninto open source, to learn from them and to give back by sharing our own\nexperience. This year we decided to focus on a single important topic for us —\nimproving UI/UX.
\nAs our contributors and maintainers were sifting through the feature requests,\nbugs, and improvements to create a good\nlist of Hacktoberfest tickets,\nwe noticed that UI/UX label on Github is popping up again and again. DVC is a\ncommand line tool, and improving UI/UX in our case means making decisions on how\nto name command options, where and when to use\nconfirmation prompts and/or\nwhere abort execution, what exactly user would expect to see in the output, how\nto test it later, etc.
\nWhy improving UI/UX appears to be so important for DVC at this stage? Perhaps\nbecause the project is more mature now and we are ready to spend more time on\npolishing it. Or maybe because it is still too-engineering focused and we used\nto disregard/de-prioritize all this ‘fancy’ stuff. Or it is because we just lack\nexperience in creating good CLI UI/UX!
\nOne or another, those are great reasons to focus on improving UI (in a broader\nsense than just GUI), improving docs, creating powerful consistent experience\nfor our users and increasing accessibility of DVC.
\nThat’s how\nHeroku’s CLI style guide\nstarts:
\n\n\nHeroku CLI plugins should provide a clear user experience, targeted primarily\nfor human readability and usability, which delights the user, while at the\nsame time supporting advanced users and output formats. This article provides\na clear direction for designing delightful CLI plugins.
\n
At DVC we are building user experience in line with these principles too, but we\nalso have our own challenges. And here we turn for help to the global open\nsource community and all the contributors out there.
\nFor all of us who have a heart for open source — let’s discuss, contribute,\nlearn, take the technologies forward and build something great together!
\nHappy hacking!
\nWe are happy to hear from you here. Our\nDMs on Twitter are always open, too!
