How Non-Developers Can Contribute to Prometheus


Summary

This article highlights the challenges non-developers face when contributing to open-source projects like Prometheus, including feeling intimidated, lacking clear contribution avenues, and limited visibility for non-code contributions. It argues that non-technical skills – like UX research, documentation, community management, and project organization – are crucial for a project's success and can significantly lower barriers to entry and improve community health. The author provides concrete examples of how these contributions benefit Prometheus and encourages those without coding experience to get involved, particularly within the existing UX working group.
