We suspect that many orgs are using this approach and might not even consider this an enabler for InnerSource. Might be too obvious!

Increase number of people consuming the patterns. ("easier to discover", pattern of month, categories) +2. Increase the number and quality of patterns. + 1. Increase the number of people thinking to contribute. ("patterns in wild", "known instances") + 2. Increase probability of successful contribution. ("reduce review time", "lower barrier of entry") + 3. Optimise the existing content. (level-up more patterns, "known instances" again) + +All goals will be progressed but we are prioritising effort towards 2.iii. + +Specifically we want to get existing **Initial (L1)** patterns improved to **Structured (L2)**, so that we can publish them in the book. + +We had a [discussion](https://github.com/InnerSourceCommons/InnerSourcePatterns/pull/486#discussion_r1029921121) about this and created a short-list of those patterns (details below). + +We now have a [script](https://github.com/InnerSourceCommons/InnerSourcePatterns/blob/main/meta/scripts/find_upgradeable_patterns.rb) that identifies patterns that could be upgrade, based on the number of Known Instances only: + +``` +$ ruby find_upgradeable_patterns.rb +## Initial => Structured +## 1-Initial patterns primed for upgrade to 2-Structured (based on Known Instances only) +1 | ../../patterns/1-initial/innersource-guidance-group.md +1 | ../../patterns/1-initial/innersource-customer-interview-questions.md +2 | ../../patterns/1-initial/balancing-openness-and-security.md +1 | ../../patterns/1-initial/source-code-inventory.md +1 | ../../patterns/1-initial/incubator-pipeline.md +1 | ../../patterns/1-initial/include-product-owners.md +1 | ../../patterns/1-initial/introducing-metrics-in-innersource.md +1 | ../../patterns/1-initial/modular-code.md +1 | ../../patterns/1-initial/contained-innersource.md +1 | ../../patterns/1-initial/transitioning-contractor-code-to-innersource-model.md +1 | ../../patterns/1-initial/governance-levels.md + +## Structured => Validated +## 2-Structured patterns primed for upgrade to 3-Validated (based on Known Instances only) +3 | ../../patterns/2-structured/30-day-warranty.md +5 | ../../patterns/2-structured/transparent-cross-team-decision-making-using-rfcs.md +3 | ../../patterns/2-structured/document-your-guiding-principles.md +4 | ../../patterns/2-structured/trusted-committer.md +3 | ../../patterns/2-structured/core-team.md +3 | ../../patterns/2-structured/maturity-model.md +5 | ../../patterns/2-structured/innersource-portal.md +3 | ../../patterns/2-structured/gig-marketplace.md +3 | ../../patterns/2-structured/project-setup/base-documentation.md +3 | ../../patterns/2-structured/project-setup/communication-tooling.md +``` + +### Shortlisted Patterns + +Here you find more detail about the possible execution of this approach. +It is more information than what the Board needs.
