For open source projects
Reign for open source projects. Open source contributor community.
The pain
OSS projects use GitHub Issues + Discord + Stack Overflow + a Docusaurus docs site - hard to onboard contributors, no single identity.
The Reign answer
Reign + Jetonomy + BuddyNext for a contributor community: getting-started guides, per-version Q&A and a showcase of community projects. Both plugins install free; bbPress is the alternative.
The free route
Q&A spaces with accepted answers, contributor profiles and badges, free to install. You buy the Reign theme; Jetonomy, BuddyNext and WB Gamification are ours and install free.
- Jetonomy forums and q&a
- BuddyNext community engine
- WB Gamification points and badges
What this stack adds
Three highlights for open source projects.
- 01
Showcase: members post projects built with your library.
- 02
Jetonomy Q&A with accepted answers and per-release topic categories.
- 03
Contributor recognition via WB Gamification badges, free to install (GamiPress if you already run it).
FAQ
Open source project-specific questions.
Why not GitHub Discussions?
GitHub Discussions is fine for OSS contributors but invisible to non-coders. Reign hosts a wider audience: end users + integrators + contributors all in one community.
Ready for open source projects
Buy the theme. Add the plugins free.
Jetonomy, BuddyNext and WB Gamification cost nothing to install, and each has its own Pro plan for later. Running the third-party stack instead? The BuddyPress Community Bundle kit is the packaged route. Or have the Wbcom team install either one for $699 flat.
