add OTOBO to the project list

[bschmalhofer]

OTOBO is a Perl-based open source ticketing system. The code is in Github: https://github.com/RotherOSS/otobo . The project home page is at https://otobo.org

Excellent! Could you provide a project page like this that links to your project and summarizes what contributions you would like to have? Then I will include a link to that in my list of projects!

You could use https://otobo.de/en/community/ as a starting point.

@bschmalhofer Ok that looks good to me! Thanks for the contribution, added the link to the list projects.

After closer consideration I think it would be nice if you provided the project page instead of linking directly to the OTOBO page. I think my idea is this:

• Provide a unified interface to this repository. That is: clicking a link in the list will always bring you to a project page, where a more specific information is given.
• The contributor will know which person that requested the contribution, namely the maintainer of the project page.
• By linking to the project page it is explicitly said what should be the aim of this project. I believe this is important, because it shows that the maintainer is involved in the project and is willing to collaborate.. This will make the contributor more interested in contributing..
• This will also be the place where the contributor can ask question regarding the project..

I think that I kind of understand your approach, providing well defined tasks so that people can start contributing. For OTOBO however, the relevant contributors have a different profile. Mostly they are users that are already using OTOBO and have a specific itch to scratch.
Of course anybody providing a pull request for one of the issues in Github is very welcome too.

Yes that is correct! Ok, removing OTOBO from the list for now then..
