Contribution Process

First of all, thank you for your interest in contributing to Safely Report! We believe that it is the community that makes an open source project truly great and successful, so we welcome contribution from any new members.

To contribute to Safely Report, you can take steps below.

1. Open an Issue

First, check existing issues here to see if any of them already addresses your concern. If none, open a new one with as much detail about your issue as possible.

2. Triage the Issue

Once a new issue is opened, Safely Report's core development team will be in touch through replies in the issue ticket. The main purpose of this interaction is to clarify and flesh out any missing details about the issue so that the ticket can be turned into a concrete action plan with clearer scope and priority. You will also collaborate with the core development team to decide stakeholders for the issue resolution, such as implementation owner and reviewers/approvers.

3. Implement the Solution

Unless the issue resolution requires deeper expertise or larger scope (e.g., architectural change), you will be highly encouraged to be the implementation owner. If so, you can follow instructions here to start your development.
