Please follow the below guidelines for each post All Projects Showcased Need to be Openly Licensed (open source or creative commons licenses) Each thread inside “Project Showcase” belongs to a single project, and individuals should update the initial post with updates as they occur. This thread will be the projects home on the forum. (We ask that all projects listed here, also be added to our wiki). Step 1 - The Title: We ask that you include the abbreviated license in the title of your post for easy visibility. (we also highly suggest you add it as a tag) The next part of your title should be the name of your project. If your project doesn’t have a name yet, don’t worry, this can be updated in the future. Lastly, your title should include at least one overarching concept or category that it falls into. For example: “software”, or “games”. Example Title: Please use the following format exactly for consistency across the forum, and to allow for others to search your project on the forum easier. (AGPLv3) Amalgam [games] [software] [boardgame] Some of the categories currently (2026/03/31) listed on the wiki: software, world-building, handicrafts, digital-arts, audio, video, photography, games, writing, electronics note: This is not all inclusive, but using predefined categories allows your project to be more easily searchable in the forum search Step 2 - The Intro: The initial part of your post should have a very brief list of the most important information: Name of the project License Overarching topic or categories it falls into Status: (active, hiatus, completed, abandoned) - this should match the thread tag Links to webpage, repository, or any other primary links to the project Brief description (1-2 paragraphs of what your project is about) Step 3 - The Body: The more detail you can provide the better. We don’t want to dictate how you organize your post, but do your best to provide as much information as you can. Sometimes this section can be trimmed down if you already have your information laid out in a wiki page, or your own website, etc. We highly encourage that you create a wiki page to go with your post - as the real value of collaboration is achieved through the projects in the wiki in combination with forum discussion. Some ideas for potential items to cover: The Vision: What is the project? What makes it unique? Current Progress: Is this just an idea? A half-finished prototype? Share links to your Git repo, portfolio, or screenshots if applicable. The “Ask”: Are you sharing your project just for the sake of sharing? Are you actively developing and interested in taking on fellow contributors? Is there something in your project you are struggling with and would like volunteer’s help with? Essentially: How can the community help you succeed? Expectations & Time: Your own time commitments to the project, and how you would like other community members to contribute or help with the project. If the project is in a position to take on collaborators, what are the expectations for them to get involved? Communication: How should people reach out, and where can people expect the majority of collaboration to take place? (Forum DMs/Chats, Signal, Matrix, Discord, etc.). ️ Project Etiquette & Reminders Respect the License: If you join a Libre project, respect the open nature of the work. It is important to find a balance (communication is key!) between respecting the original creator’s vision and realizing that an open license means that “forks” of a creators work may take place. Just remember: Our community is focused on collaboration and building connections for the greater commons. It is important to stay respectful and act in good faith. Communication and blunt honesty will prevent a lot of potential misunderstandings, but please respect the intent of the open licenses, as well as the creator’s efforts and contributions. Be Patient: We are all tinkering on our own time. This platform isn’t a place to find “work”, its a place for us to come together and make things that can be shared by all. Many of us have busy lives and other obligations outside of UnfinishedProjects. Stay Safe: Avoid sharing sensitive personal information (like your home address or phone number) in public threads.
