I'm curious to hear people's thoughts on what principles open source projects should adhere to in order to promote transparency, inclusiveness, and effective development. Are there any specific projects you feel do a great job following certain principles in how they operate? I'm interested in how projects organize decision making, manage donations, incorporate community feedback, communicate updates, and more. Please share projects you appreciate for how they approach open source development!

I like KDE in how they approach new users. There are some people like Nate Graham investing so much time into talking to stupid bug reporters like me.

Having the first "start contributing" link be a Matrix Group is also nice, instead of some Git instance.

Change my mind, but I think Git* is horrible for collaboration if you use it exclusively
