There was a LOT of interest when What2Log.com launched. Far more than we would have dared to dream!

EVERYONE wanted to directly contribute... but we weren't setup for that... until now.

We have converted the entire W2L platform over to TOML and opened up the repo!

This means you (yes *you*) can generate TOMLs that will be reviewed by the W2L crew. As long as you follow the template guides, your content will be included in the releases.

This is _huge_ and should allow W2L to scale almost vertically in terms of community involvement.

I'm super hopeful that we get a TON of contributions. We've done so much care and attention to the input we've had already.

Here's some notable things:

Privacy:
we had some EU based folks freak out that we didn't put cookie notices on W2L. The issue is... we don't have cookies. Not a one.

It's none of our business what logs you're making.

So use this site knowing we're not tracking you.

Transparency:
Some folks wondered how we prioritize stuff. Now that the W2L repo is up and open, feel free to enter issues yourself!

Getting started:
with a *very* careful eye to making community involvement easier, we fought (and fought some more) on how to accept input. We settled on TOML formatting because it is very rich and allows features that JSON and YAML doesn't

Getting started
The main thing we have though is templates. LOTS of templates. If you want to run your own local instance of W2L to test how our nuxt based scripts will parse them, do so with either your own local dev or "production" release.

Getting started:
Do the templates not do it? (they should! we spent tons of time on them!)

But if that's not enough, just copy any existing log to suit your needs and kick it up to us via a pull request.

But wait there's more!!
If that sounds like too much work, just submit an issue and ask for what logs you want. We will take on requests this way. (Please understand there may be a little lag as we get to your request though)

again, issues are open:

In closing, we're sorry it took so long. We had to completely rebuild the entire W2L platform from scratch. There's nothing that remains from the original launch. We're hope you're as excited as we are. We think the wait was worth it.

It's going to be a party. Join us!
