Discussion on: Preparing your project being open sourced

Nice post, this is definitely mandatory for anyone to be able to contribute to your open source project.

I would also add the following steps :

• use a proper logging system (not just print/echo)
• have at least basic local tests and static code analysis to ensure a minimal level of quality
• have issue templates to be ready to receive feature ideas or bug reports
• have a basic documentation (or at least docstrings in the code and a plan to generate documentation)
• setup continuous integration (using Travis, Azure pipelines, Actions...)
