Note

Please remember that this is a volunteer-driven project!

All work is done on a volunteer basis, so if you write up an issue, it may sit there for a while.

If you see an issue you can help with, please pitch in! If you don't, don't expect anyone else to, either.

Write Documentation

Our documentation can always be better. What questions did you have that you think other people might have that aren't answered in the documentation? Were you able to find what you were looking for? Was documentation in weird unexpected places? Are there typos? Are examples helpful? Are examples missing?

We could always use more documentation whether that's part of the official docs, comments and docstrings in the code or even elsewhere on the web in blog posts, articles, tweets and other things like that.

Fix bugs and implement new things in the software

Look through the issue tracker for bugs and features to work on. Anything that is not assigned to someone is open to work on. Please comment in the issue about your plans.

For example:

I'd like to work on this issue. I think it should be fixed like this ...

<explanation>

If I don't hear from anyone in the next couple of days, I'll work on it and
submit a pull request.

Issues marked with the "help wanted" label are good ones to look at.

Want to work on something that isn't covered in an issue, yet? Please write an issue first. We don't want you to waste your time working on things that won't be accepted.
