Sure, thanks a lot for showing interest in contributing to shuru. You can contribute by creating a documentation site for the project. Simply create a repository on GitHub and deploy the site using GitHub Pages once it’s developed. You can use any framework of your choice. I’ll try to collaborate with you on the development. We can continue this discussion on GitHub. You can start by creating a discussion here: github.com/harshdoesdev/shuru/disc...

This list is fantastic, @jaysaadana! Thank you for putting it together!!

We at Interledger Foundation are participating in Hacktoberfest for the third year, and we invite you all to join the next evolution in payments through Interledger, the modern way for sending payments.

The Interledger Foundation aims to enhance access to digital financial services by advocating for the adoption of an open-source currency network powered by the Interledger Protocol (ILP). Moreover, it actively collaborates with historically marginalized groups to fulfil this mission.

A few Interledger repositories that are participating in Hacktoberfest

Open Payments is an open API standard that can be implemented by account servicing entities (e.g. banks, digital wallet providers, and mobile money providers) to facilitate interoperability in the setup and completion of payments for different use cases including:

  • Web Monetization
  • Tipping/Donations (low value/low friction)
  • eCommerce checkout
  • P2P transfers
  • Subscriptions
  • Invoice Payments

Repo link - github.com/interledger/open-payments

Contribution guide - github.com/interledger/open-paymen...
Rafiki

Rafiki is open-source software that allows an Account Servicing Entity to enable Interledger functionality on its users' accounts.

This includes:

  • sending and receiving payments (via SPSP and Open Payments)
  • allowing third-party access to initiate payments and view transaction data (via Open Payments)

Repo link - github.com/interledger/rafiki

Contribution guide - github.com/interledger/rafiki/blob...
Testnet

Testnet is an open-source test application for Rafiki. In other words, a Rafiki Playground. It wants to use all of the functionalities of Rafiki and put its advantages to the real test.

Testnet is made up (or will be made up soon) of several components, including a wallet application, a bank application, and an e-commerce application.

Repo link - github.com/interledger/testnet

Contribution guide - github.com/interledger/testnet/blo...
Helm charts

This is a *Helm Charts * repository for Interledger Kubernetes.

Repo link - github.com/interledger/helm-charts

And many more on Interledger repositories.
Web Monetization

Web Monetization browser extension is an open-source implementation of the Web Monetization draft specification. It is built with React and TypeScript.

Learn more at the links below.

i love hacktoberfest. But I won't contribute to projects that are too commercial, ie limiting features behind an enterprise tier, like rocketchat does.
