ClusterDuck Protocol
|
For any issue, there are fundamentally three ways an individual can contribute:
Call-for-Code/ClusterDuck-Protocol
issue tracker is the way to report it.Call-for-Code/ClusterDuck-Protocol
in a concrete and reviewable manner.The best place to ask for help is through the ClusterDuck-Protocol Slack workspace. Open an issue to request an invitation.
Discussion of non-technical topics are also best to discuss in the #general channel of the ClusterDuck-Protocol Slack workspace.
When opening a new issue in the Call-for-Code/ClusterDuck-Protocol
issue tracker, please provide as much detail about your environment as possible.
See How to create a Minimal, Complete, and Verifiable example.
Once an issue has been opened, it is not uncommon for there to be discussion around it. Some contributors may have differing opinions about the issue, including whether the behavior being seen is a bug or a feature. This discussion is part of the process and should be kept focused, helpful, and professional.
Short, clipped responses—that provide neither additional context nor supporting detail—are not helpful or professional. To many, such responses are simply annoying and unfriendly.
Contributors are encouraged to help one another make forward progress as much as possible, empowering one another to solve issues collaboratively. If you choose to comment on an issue that you feel either is not a problem that needs to be fixed, or if you encounter information in an issue that you feel is incorrect, explain why you feel that way with additional supporting context, and be willing to be convinced that you may be wrong. By doing so, we can often reach the correct outcome much faster.
In the vast majority of cases, issues are resolved by opening a Pull Request. The process for opening and reviewing a Pull Request isa similar to that of opening and triaging issues, but carries with it a necessary review and approval workflow that ensures that the proposed changes meet the minimal quality and functional guidelines of the ClusterDuck-Protocol project.
