Seeking CKAN Metadata Wranglers for KSP2

[HebaruSan]

Greetings, KSP2 mod authors and enthusiasts.

tl;dr: The CKAN team is recruiting! If you are interested in helping out, please say hi on our Discord:

To add a new mod to CKAN, it has to be reviewed to make sure it's set up correctly. Some of this can be done by automated tools, but some can only be done by a human. And somebody needs to investigate and fix issues with mods that are already added. These are the jobs of the CKAN Metadata Wranglers team.

Currently the workload per-mod is rather light since the mods so far haven't yet had complex installs or interdependencies; mostly it's been adding tags and merging. However, lots of new mods have been arriving at a rapid clip, and our response times depend on how many team members we have online through the course of the day. Right now it's just me, and the review queue accumulates when I'm unavailable.

So we need new members, and that might mean you! If you'd enjoy making CKAN work well for KSP2, consider becoming a Metadata Wrangler. The others on the CKAN team would help you get up to speed with how everything works and what to watch out for and answer any questions you may have. If you are already familiar with these technologies, you'll find that very helpful, but it's not required if you're willing to learn:

• git
• GitHub
• YAML
• JSON

We look forward to meeting you!
