Maintainer Diversity

We've had a few spot contributors added. No new maintainers were added. We really need the community to come forward and contribute.

Please find here the maintainers list. https://github.com/hyperledger/blockchain-explorer/blob/master/MAINTAINERS.md

Contributor Diversity

The current main contributors are from DTCC and Fujitsu. We have 8 unique contributors on Github and 9 unique reporters on JIRA in this quarter.

We had a session in Blockchain Tech Fest 2020 to present the project overview and project roadmap to the potential users and contributors. We really appreciated @David Boswell and @Ry Jones introducing this opportunity to us and also thanks so much to all in Hyperledger India Chapter, Hyperledger Africa Chapter, and Hyperledger Sweden who organized this wonderful event.

And we had some proposals for Hyperledger Explorer as below:

• New contributions

  • EasyDoser

    • This is the outcome of one of the Hyperledger Internship programs. The integration of this feature into Explorer will offer more visibility of the network to users.

    • Ease endorsement operations for Hyperledger based products (EasyDoser)

  • LedgerDataRefiner

    • Fujitsu Lab. has proposed integrating their open-sourced ledger data analytics tool into Explorer. We have started the discussion on how to proceed with this contribution.

    •  https://github.com/FujitsuLaboratories/Ledger-Data-Refiner

• WIP contributions

  • minifab

    • This project is offering Hyperledger Explorer support as one of their features and we think it will be a good mutual reference. 

  • hyperledger-explorer-made-easy

    • This is a kind of utility tool for the easy setup of Hyperledger Explorer. After evaluating this tool and having a consensus for merging it into the Explorer repo within the team, we might get it included in Explorer as one of the official features.
