Risk-First in 2024

[robmoffat]

Long time no see!

2023 was a quiet year for Risk-First: I was pretty much all-consumed with my job at FINOS/Linux Foundation trying to produce training and certifications for the finance industry.

However, there's lots of interesting things afoot in 2024, here's the first one: Risk-First is now using Docusaurus. There are a couple of advantages to this for me: first, I am able to re-use a lot of the tags I built for my Open Source Readiness website (again, over at FINOS). This should mean I'm able to create much better indexing and content structuring for Risk-First going forward.

Second, Docusaurus runs using node, which I use all the time and is a lot easier for me to work with than Jekyll, which runs on Ruby. Docusaurus is also designed as a documentation site first, rather than a blogging platform, which I think suits us here.

Finally, Docusaurus has a great Algolia search integration (again, something I've used before) so now Risk-First is searchable, which is a big win, even just for my use. Go Check it out!

and I have some more really exciting Risk-First news to share with you later in the year 🤞 - stay tuned!

Hello, @robmoffat. Thanks for your reaching out to me. I'm Alex and this is my first time receiving an invitation like this. I'm wondering what I can contribute on your project. Can we have a quick chat for discussing further? Thanks.

Hi @Happygru,

Thanks for your mail! As part of my job I collaborate on and maintain quite a few open source projects and they're always asking for people to roll up their sleeves and fix bugs.

However, this being a documentation project means it's a bit different - what I would really appreciate is people reading the content and then raising issues if they discover issues or omissions. Just a few lines is usually enough to give me the gist.

Of course, if you felt like writing something more substantial in a pull request that would be gratefully appreciated too, but in my experience developers' time is extremely limited for that kind of thing.

thanks again for reaching out,

Rob

Maybe I should have a knuthian bug bounty https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Knuth_reward_check
