提问 HN：是什么促使你为小型开源项目做贡献？
2 分•作者: chrilleweb•大约 8 小时前
Hi HN，
最近开始维护我的开源项目，我对这个问题很感兴趣。
我试图理解人们到底为什么会决定为特定项目做出贡献——而不是那些知名的大项目。
背景：我尝试过做一些“显而易见”的事情——编写清晰的 README，保持范围明确，添加测试和 CI，并将一些问题标记为适合初学者。
然而，感觉使用开源工具和主动贡献之间存在很大差距。
我也曾尝试在这里发帖宣传，但感觉大家似乎不太喜欢自我推销——或者也许是我做错了。
你们以前做过开源项目吗？你们又是如何找到自己贡献的项目呢？

Hi HN,<p>I’ve been curious about this as I recently started maintaining my open source project.<p>I’m trying to understand what actually makes people decide to contribute to projects in particular — not the big, well-known ones.<p>For context: I’ve tried to do the “obvious” things — writing a clear README, keeping the scope focused, adding tests and CI, and labeling a few issues as beginner-friendly.<p>Still, it feels like there’s a big gap between using an open source tool and taking the step to contribute.<p>I’ve also tried posting about it here, but it feels like people don’t really like self-promotion — or maybe I’m just doing it wrong.<p>Have you worked on open source projects before? And how did you find the project you contributed to?
