So I decided to host a repository for Hacktoberfest. I've been spending more time than I thought I would inventing and creating problems to have issues to delegate to participants.
My goal was to be able to learn how to maintain a repository by just diving right in! I'm happy to share that I had done my first merge and now have a contributors work merged into my repo. (YAY!)
This repository is mostly practice for beginners who are learning basic HTML/CSS/JS such as my friends who are taking the freecodecamp lessons. I've attracted over a dozen participants and that's really promising! I love that.
However, it seems, that rather than people just forking and participating, they are going with the prompts in issues. That's fine. I'm sure everyone just wants to make sure that they have permission and will be properly credited.
As such though, I'm running out of ideas and spending a little more time than I thought just making up things to do in the repository so that newbies can practice.
I would like to invite anyone reading to check out the repo and if you can think of any bugs, enhancements, ideas or anything else- to raise an issue that others can work on.
It would be a big help.
Here is the repo.

So far being a maintainer is very interesting and I already have learned a lot. :)
