Contributing to Serpent.AI

While the very warm and unexpected reception from the community is appreciated, Serpent.AI will, for the foreseeable future, remain a personal project of @nbrochu. It is a labor of love with a vision and as such, the adopted stance on external contributions will be stiffer than usual.

As a general principle, the following statement will hold true:

Any unsolicited pull request will be automatically closed

This being said, there are ways of contributing to the project:

Contributing to the Community Wiki

While still moderated, the wiki is currently open to anyone with a GitHub account. Feel free to add tips, gotchas or even entirely new articles. Translation efforts are also extremely appreciated.

Reporting Issues

Found a bug? Something misbehaving? Reporting issues is a great and accessible way to improve the project for everyone.

Fixing Issues

Pull requests for outstanding issues clearly labeled with BUG will be accepted.

Performance Improvements

Pull requests demonstrating and including a significantly faster way of doing something Serpent.AI currently does will be accepted.

Feature Requests

Got a feature idea? Start a GitHub issue describing your idea. A SUGGESTION label will be applied to it. The issue will be used for discussion. Accepted feature ideas will be labeled as PLANNED FEATURE

Help Wanted

Issues can be tagged with a special HELP WANTED label. This is a call to anyone in the community to participate. Pull requests addressing those will be accepted.

If you disapprove of the above contribution policy, keep in mind that the code is totally open with a very permissive license. You are absolutely free to start your own fork, even under a different name.
