How to Start Contributing

There are many valuable ways to contribute besides writing code. Thank you for dedicating your time to improve our projects!

Bug reports and enhancement requests

Bug reports and enhancement requests are an important part of making any software more stable. We curate them though Github issues. When opening an issue or request, please select the appropriate category and fill out the issue form fully to ensure others and the core development team can fully understand the scope of the issue. If your category is not listed, you can create a blank issue.

The issue will then show up to the BioCypher community and be open to comments/ideas from others.

Categories

  • Bug Report: Report incorrect behavior in the BioCypher library
  • Register New Component: Register a new component in the BioCypher ecosystem, either one you have created, or one that you would like to see added
  • Documentation Improvement: Report wrong or missing documentation
