The Hello Wall — Skilluv

Public timeline of every Skilluv community member's first commit. Anyone who joins Skilluv and completes the Bonjour Skilluv onboarding challenge has their HELLO.md archived here.

How it works

1. New Skilluv member → signs up on the platform, picks their orientation.
2. Completes the Bonjour Skilluv challenge: forks a skilluv-community/starter-* template, edits HELLO.md, opens a PR on their own fork.
3. Skilluv detects the PR via GitHub webhook → unlocks the "Bonjour Skilluv" badge.
4. A Skilluv bot automatically mirrors the content of the HELLO.md into this repository under entries/{username}.md with a welcome timestamp.
5. The file stays here for life (the member can request its removal anytime).

## Their introduction

{content of the HELLO.md the person wrote}

Why this wall?

• Live social proof: any visitor sees how many people joined recently
• Warm welcome: every person gets named in a public space
• Community history: in 5 years, we'll remember who was here on day one
• Growth signal: veterans can come back and see their own first Hello

Web view

The wall is also rendered on skilluv.io/hello-wall as a scrollable interactive timeline.

Right to erasure

Any person may request the removal of their entry by emailing moderation@skilluv.io. Removal is processed within 30 days; the audit trail is preserved for system integrity.

Contribution

This repo does not accept direct human PRs. Entries are created automatically by the Skilluv bot. Any human PR will be closed.

The bot workflow itself is developed at skilluv/skilluv-backend (coming Q1 2027).

Naming note

The Skilluv onboarding challenge is called "Bonjour Skilluv" (French for "Hello Skilluv") as a cultural nod to the founder's Beninese roots and the French-speaking African community that forms the wedge of Skilluv's early adoption. However, all documentation and internal naming default to English, the lingua franca of tech.
