Research direction

Start by reviewing innersourcecommons.org and the existing Known Instance content, then compare the requested call-out with the Backstage example at backstage.io. Done means the website has a clear way to invite organizations to share their pattern experiences and Known Instance descriptions, matching the proposed purpose.

Written by the indexing model from the issue text.

Description

How to motivate orgs to contribute their experiences with our patterns back to the community?

A small contribution would be to list themselves as a Known Instance on the pattern, possibly with a couple of sentences about how they have used the given pattern.

A great example of such a Known Instance description from the 30 Day Warranty pattern:

Microsoft recommends this pattern as a principle - teams set their own specific time target matching their needs and confidence.

Possible Solution

backstage.io has this need call-out at the side of their website, to motivate early adopters to share publicly that they are using backstage. See screenshot.

Could we do something similar on https://innersourcecommons.org?
