Common mistakes and how to fix them

source

The aim of this section is to show you the most common mistakes found this week. Followed by a short description and tips when applicable. Usually, I split the section in two: Contributions with a score of 25 or less and Contributions with a score of 50 or less.

1 - Contributions with a score of 25 or less

1.1 - The project is not open source

As you may know, Utopian only supports open source projects. Those which are closed source are not supported by Utopian, therefore, are not scored.
If you have problems looking for valid repositories I recommend you to read this post. Also, check my weekly reports. There you will find interesting open source projects with valid repositories.

2 - Contributions with a score of 50 or less

2.1 - The impact on the functionality and usability of the project is low

If the overall of your post is excellent, but your idea has little impact on the functionality and/or usability of the project or could be achieved in a easy way, you will get a few point less. Try to suggest unique, original and useful features.

2.2 - The proposal is not detailed enough

The proposal should be as informative and descriptive as possible. This will help the project owner (and the people who read your post) to understand your suggestion. Avoid being vague about the benefits of your idea.

Interesting open source projects

Kubernetes is an open source system for managing containerized applications across multiple hosts; providing basic mechanisms for deployment, maintenance, and scaling of applications.
