# Contributing Guidelines
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Contributions welcome!
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
**Before spending lots of time on something, ask for feedback on your idea first!**
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Please search issues and pull requests before adding something new to avoid duplicating
|
|
|
|
|
efforts and conversations.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
This project welcomes non-code contributions, too! The following types of contributions
|
|
|
|
|
are welcome:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
- **Ideas**: participate in an issue thread or start your own to have your voice heard.
|
|
|
|
|
- **Writing**: contribute your expertise in an area by helping expand the included docs.
|
|
|
|
|
- **Copy editing**: fix typos, clarify language, and improve the quality of the docs.
|
|
|
|
|
- **Formatting**: help keep docs easy to read with consistent formatting.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
## Code Style

|
This repository uses [`standard`][standard-url] to maintain code style and consistency,
|
|
|
|
|
and to avoid style arguments. `npm test` runs `standard` automatically, so you don't have
|
|
|
|
|
to!

## Project Governance
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Individuals making significant and valuable contributions are given commit-access to the
|
|
|
|
|
project to contribute as they see fit. This project is more like an open wiki than a
|
|
|
|
|
standard guarded open source project.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
### Rules
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
There are a few basic ground-rules for contributors:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
1. **No `--force` pushes** or modifying the Git history in any way.
|
|
|
|
|
2. **Non-master branches** should be used for ongoing work.
|
|
|
|
|
3. **Significant modifications** like API changes should be subject to a **pull request**
|
|
|
|
|
to solicit feedback from other contributors.
|
|
|
|
|
4. **Pull requests** are *encouraged* for all contributions to solicit feedback, but left to
|
|
|
|
|
the discretion of the contributor.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
### Releases
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Declaring formal releases remains the prerogative of the project maintainer.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
### Changes to this arrangement
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
This is an experiment and feedback is welcome! This document may also be subject to pull-
|
|
|
|
|
requests or changes by contributors where you believe you have something valuable to add
|
|
|
|
|
or change.
