#Contributing
A quick explanation of this repo and how to navigate it:
-
I am new to GitHub. Please go easy on me, and I will do my best to help you help us! While this code has been in use since early 2016, and was intended to be open source from the start, I didn't put in on GitHub until recently, and didn't move the issues from Google Sheets to actual GitHub issues until November 19, 2016. So, if anything is unclear or out of context, please let me know and I'll try to make things better ASAP.
-
Issues are categorized by topic using Milestones. In the Issues page, hit the Milestones tab to see all the categories and view the issues within one of those Milestones.
-
Relevant issue labels:
- 'help wanted': if this label is present, we're actively asking for help; if not, the issue is not really ready for outside help and would just cause confusion. So - if you're looking to contribute, please don't pay much or any attention unless the 'help wanted' label is present.
- 'enhancement' or 'bug': one of these should be present on all open and active tickets. Hopefully self-explanatory, let me know if anything is unclear.
- 'Priority:Low|Medium|High': also hopefully self-explanatory. The entire set of issues is a "wish list"; the Priority label indicates how useful a resolution of that particular issue would be to the SAR team.
- If you plan to work on an issue, please assign it to yourself, so that others will know not to start work on the same issue from scratch.
Thanks for all your help; happy coding and let me know if you have any questions!
