Summary: This commit begins to extend the artifact editor to display contributions. To display contributions from arbitrary plugins, we need to communicate with those plugins somehow. We do so via an adapter interface that plugins implement; included in this commit is an implementation of this interface for the GitHub plugin (partially: we punt on rendering). This includes a snapshot test. The snapshot format is designed to be human-readable and -auditable so that it can serve as documentation. Test Plan: Run the application with `yarn start`. Then, fetch a graph and watch as its contributions appear in the view. wchargin-branch: contributions-and-adapters
SourceCred
The open-source community provides an enormous amount of value to the world. However, open-source contributors go largely unrewarded and unrecognized. SourceCred aims to help that situation, by building tools that enable quantitatively measuring the value that open-source contributors provide to individual projects, and to the community as a whole.
SourceCred will create a "Cred Graph", which is a graph that shows how the contributions that compose open-source projects are related to and derive value from each other. From this, we'll be able to assign "cred" to users based on how valuable their contributions are. Cred will be assigned based on a mixture of objective data (e.g. references between GitHub pull requests) and subjective feedback (e.g. projects' own judgments on how important different contributions were).
If you'd like to contribute, please follow along with our issues, as we are using issues to coordinate development and design decisions. We also have a slack.
