### Open Source
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Arguably the most notable highlight of July was the open-sourcing of the code. You can now find the source code in [the GitLab repository](https://gitlab.com/tildes/tildes) and contribute, keep up with the development or create your own version of Tildes entirely. The project is licensed under [the GNU AGPLv3 license](https://gitlab.com/tildes/tildes/blob/master/LICENSE.md), you can find a good summary on [GitHub's choosealicense.com](https://choosealicense.com/licenses/agpl-3.0/).
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
If you're interested in contributing or just messing around, 2 new documentation pages were added for developing, namely: [Development Setup](https://docs.tildes.net/development-setup) and [Development](https://docs.tildes.net/development). These will get you up and running in no time.
|
||
|
|
|

|

### Links In New Tabs
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
On July 21st, the first feature contribution was merged, developed by [Ivan Fonseca](https://gitlab.com/ivanfon) better known as @what on Tildes. Allowing you to open external and/or internal links in new tabs. You can find the toggles inside [your settings](https://tildes.net/settings), above the "Change your password" section.

### Not So Daily Discussions
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
On the 26th Deimos posted a topic in ~tildes.official titled [Not-so-daily Tildes discussion](https://tild.es/3x9). Outlining what the future of the Daily Discussions will hold. To sum it up, daily discussions will now appear on a more "on-demand" basis. Initially the daily discussions were to boost the site's activity however it's not really needed anymore. Along with the current backlog of plans and previous discussions that need attention first.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Also noted is that there will be a new post each Monday including the general plans for the week, as well as a general feedback/questions/suggestions topic every couple of weeks.
|
||
|

I highly recommend reading [the original topic](https://tild.es/3x9), if you haven't already.
