We are in the last days of October, there is still time to contribute. Join our Check developer community and help build the future of journalism + earn cool swag!
Hacktoberfest is an annual global hackathon event hosted by DigitalOcean and GitHub to bring developers together and contribute to open source software.
As part of Hacktoberfest 2020, here at Meedan we’d like to expand our developer community and we are welcoming and inviting everyone to contribute to any of the services that support the Check platform.
Check is an open source platform for collaborative fact-checking and media annotation. Journalists, activists and organizations use Check to conduct their investigations and debunk misinformation.
It’s built in React and Rails, we strive for 100% test coverage and a 4.0 GPA on Code Climate.
And runs the following services:
Also, Check is extensible by creating custom bots and integrations that aim to facilitate the workflow of journalists and activists. We maintain a repository with bot examples and encourage developers to create bots to enrich Check’s functionality.
Every contribution is important for us, even if it’s not merged. We may ask some questions about the issues, suggestions and pull requests you create, and we hope you accept them in a friendly way. We want your quality contribution!
Are you a programmer interested in verification or fact-checking? Do you want to start contributing to an open source project that has supported some of the largest collaborative reporting initiatives on the internet?
Contributions we appreciate: We are interested in contributions for improving features, creating bots to extend Check functionality, fixing bugs, translations / localizations, technical documentation.
Contributions we like but won’t get you swag this time: During Hacktoberfest, we are not accepting PRs for small changes on documentation, like adding links or a table of contents. We hope you can find a nice issue to work on!
Our issues: We created some GitHub issues for Hacktoberfest. All the issues have labels identifying the Check component it is related to, the difficulty level and the technology knowledge needed to work with the issue. Choose one issue to work on or suggest a new issue.

Happy coding!
