On May 26, 2020 was day one of the WeValCo website. We are very proud of what you can find here already. Our vision is to make online cooperation as easy as possible and for this we have set ourselves the goal to create the necessary tools step by step. This also includes searching and finding projects to support them or to be inspired by existing projects. Step one is now realized, the search for international open source projects, for which we have gathered information for you. Of course you can also find existing solutions that you can use for your own software. You can find out how to do this in the following post. Let’s start with what you can expect here:
and here we go…
We split the main page into different sections.
At top you will find the project search and the language settings:

By clicking the individual phases 
you will get a more detailed description.
In the next section you will find project cards of top projects. This is a selection of the most interesting projects, which you can also find using the search.
Under “What we offer” you will find detailed information about project phases and information about new developments.
An important element on the main page and all others is the feedback button 
. This will take you to a short survey that takes about two minutes and gives you the opportunity to influence the coming development. We are happy about every feedback. You will help us to improve the website and to get the functionalities you need faster.
The search bar consists of three elements, the search bar itself, an info icon 
and a search button. The info symbol explains briefly which additional search options are available in addition to the normal keyword search. We are already working on an improved version that makes it even easier for you. Currently, there are three ways to search:
Of course you can also combine all three options. This will show you projects that fits best to your search keywords, e.g. “vue #:javascript”
Please see also the picture below:
On the project card you can find information about the popularity of a project (stars) and how active it is (commits), a short description and a selection of important tags.

Here all tags and the complete project description are listed. The categories are followed by the license under which the project was released.
