Contributing to CKAN-WIT

If you’re reading this, you’re probably interested in contributing to further development of the CKAN-WIT. Thank you very much!

This document lays out guidelines and advice for contributing to this project. If you’re thinking of contributing, please start by reading this document and getting a feel for how contributing to this project works. If you have any questions, feel free to reach out to EO the primary maintainer.

General Guidelines

Be Cordial

Be cordial or be on your way.

The golden rule that governs all forms of contribution to CKAN-WIT, including bug reporting, feature request, faqs, etc. is to “be cordial or be on your way”. All contributions are welcome, as long as everyone involved is treated with respect.

Get Early Feedback

If you are contributing, do not feel the need to sit on your contribution until it is perfectly polished and complete. It helps everyone involved for you to seek feedback as early as you possibly can. Submitting an early, unfinished version of your contribution for feedback in no way prejudices your chances of getting that contribution accepted, and can save you from putting a lot of work into a contribution that is not suitable for the project.

Contribution Suitability

All contributions will be considered carefully, but from time to time, contributions will be rejected because they do not suit the current goals or needs of the project.

If your contribution is rejected, don’t despair! As long as you followed these guidelines, you will have a much better chance of getting your next contribution accepted.
