You want to contribute to i40-aas-objects? Welcome! Please read this document to understand what you can do:
- Analyze Issues
- Issue Handling Process
- Contribute Code
- Reporting Security Issues
- Developer Certificate of Origin (DCO)
Analyzing issue reports can be a lot of effort. Any help is welcome! Go to the Github issue tracker and find an open issue which needs additional work or a bugfix. Maybe you can even find and contribute a bugfix?
When an issue is reported, a committer will look at it and either confirm it as a real issue (by giving the "approved" label), close it if it is not an issue, or ask for more details. Approved issues are then either assigned to a committer in GitHub, reported in our internal issue handling system, or left open as "contribution welcome" for easy or not urgent fixes. An issue that is about a real bug is closed as soon as the fix is committed.
You are welcome to contribute code to i40-aas-objects in order to fix bugs or to implement new features.
If you find a security issue, please act responsibly and report it not in the public issue tracker, but directly to us, so we can fix it before it can be exploited.
