Maintainer Diversity

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 3 unique contributors on   Github   in this quarter.

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.
