# Google Season of Docs Microtasks

## Project Summary

The CHAOSS Diversity and Inclusion Badging Program began as a way to ensure that D&I metrics can have a significant impact on the ways that communities function. The aim of the CHAOSS D&I Badging program is to bring D&I metrics into use for propelling good D&I practices in different open source systems.

This project will focus on framing documentation for the D&I Badging program and aligning it in such a way that it makes sense after translation. This work would focus on more community-facing docs related to Badging and also on existing Markdown files.

## Microtask `GD 0`


<ol>

### Step `GD 0.0`

**Review [JOSS Documentation][] on submission and review and see how it is related to the current workflow.**

The Journal of Open Source Software is one of the primary references used for building out the CHAOSS Badging process. The goal is to compare how the current process works in comparison to the review process of JOSS.

### Step `GD 0.1` 

**Review the CII self-report system on projects and events and report schematic differences.**

Projects and events are very different, but how different are they in our program? List one thing you would change about either, or both.

## Microtask `GD 1`

<ol>


### Step `GD 1.0`

**Submit a non-existent project or event to understand the badging workflow.**

Create a draft PR after adding a mock event in either the [D&I Project Badging Repository][] or [D&I Event Badging Repository][] repository. Record your observations as a part of the microtask.

### Step `GD 1.1`

**Review a mock project or event created by someone else.**

If available, take the time to review a project or event that someone else has posted. If no fake events have been posted yet for this session, use one of the mock events from this year's Google Summer of Code application session:

- https://github.com/badging/event-diversity-and-inclusion/pull/1
- https://github.com/badging/diversity-and-inclusion/pull/2

These are great mock events, but we recommend using a fake event submitted for GSoD, if available.
