Thanks for considering contributing to Beaker!
We welcome any type of contribution, not only code. You can help with
- QA: file bug reports, the more details you can give the better (e.g. screenshots with the console open)
- Community: presenting the project at meetups, organizing a dedicated meetup for the local community, ...
- Code: take a look at the open issues. Even if you can't write code, commenting on them, showing that you care about a given issue matters. It helps us triage them.
- Money: we welcome financial contributions in full transparency on our open collective.
Any code change should be submitted as a pull request. The description should explain what the code does and give steps to execute it. The pull request should also contain tests, if applicable. For example, a PR that changes a part of the Beaker UI will likely not need tests, but a PR that updates Beaker's networking stack would.
The bigger the pull request, the longer it will take to review and merge. Try to break down large pull requests in smaller chunks that are easier to review and merge.
It is also always helpful to have some context for your pull request. What was the purpose? Why does it matter to you?
We also welcome financial contributions in full transparency on our open collective. Anyone can file an expense. If the expense makes sense for the development of the community, it will be "merged" in the ledger of our open collective by the core contributors and the person who filed the expense will be reimbursed.
If you have any questions, create an issue (protip: do a quick search first to see if someone else didn't ask the same question before!).
You can also reach us at @BeakerBrowser on Twitter, in #beakerbrowser on freenode, or [email protected].
