Lightning Talks: The Plots2 CMS and Open Source Outreach
summary
Plots2 is a Rails CMS with a Bootstrap frontend and a Node.js editor module that stores research notes as structured content and exposes power tags key:value like question: name, event: YYYY-MM-DD, latitude: and longitude: to auto-generate maps, calendars and linked lists; it supports WYSIWYG editing and inline tags that render related-note tables and an “activate grids” link feature. Outreach tactics use a first-timers-only issue label plus a Twitter bot and breaking large tasks into smaller ones, which brings tens of new contributors within a year.
