[Themaintainers] edtech and maintenance: request for readings

[Nathan Schneider]

This is very exciting. Together with Erin Glass at UCSD, I'm working on building an online wiki directory of "ethical edtech" (ethicaledtech.info), focused on free, open source, often self-hostable, non-surveillance tools. We'd love to work with others on organizing edit-a-thons to populate and promote the directory. It might even be fun to integrate into a course.

I'd also love any input about how themes of maintenance might fit into such a directory. Like metrics of active maintenace in git repos? To me this is an important pedagogical need.
