Leverage the power of the community by creating a JAMstack site that anyone can edit and contribute using NetlifyCMS's open authoring. Community is powerful. The internet has often succeeded by channeling that power into "crowdsourcing" for things like raising funds or even managing content. The most obvious example of crowdsourced content would be Wikipedia, but sites like Medium or  DEV  also harness community-driven content contributions. Many projects and companies also rely on their communities to improve their documentation. When it comes to JAMstack sites, this community-driven content is often powered by straight GitHub forks and pull requests. This works well but requires a certain degree of technical knowledge as well as a bit of manual work (pulling the code, making the change, committing it, submitting the pull request and so on). This can be a real hindrance - especially if your goal is to get contributions from folks without a high degree of technical expert

A little background Before we begin, I would like to share with you with my personal opinion about the topic. Feel free to discuss this in the comments below. So, of course, 1M packages is a great success, or is it? If you're someone who has been into the JS ecosystem for quite a while now, you know how the situation really looks like. And, while 1M is indeed an impressive number, I think we all agree that only a small fraction of these packages are actually  useful . A great chunk of them is just a big mess - a  graveyard of code  that many of us (JS developers) contributed to. That's where these numbers come from. But why? Well, maybe it's because of NPM's  simplicity ? JavaScript's popularity has grown exponentially in recent times, and with that - NPM registry. The JS code that NPM houses is simple and portable - just like the registry itself. This brings the  "entry level"  pretty low, allowing beginners and starters to use it just like that. Naturall
