Contributing to Reticulum
Welcome, and thank you for your interest in contributing to Reticulum!
Apart from writing code, there are many ways in which you can contribute. Before interacting with this community, read these short and simple guidelines.
Expected Conduct
First and foremost, there is one simple requirement for taking part in this community: While we primarily interact virtually, your actions matter and have real consequences. Therefore: Act like a responsible, civilized person - also in the face of disputes and heated disagreements. Speak your mind here, discussions are welcome. Just do so in the spirit of being face-to-face with everyone else. Thank you.
Asking Questions
If you want to ask a question, do not open an issue. The issue tracker is used by people working on Reticulum to track bugs, issues and improvements.
Instead, ask away on the discussions or on the Reticulum Matrix channel at #reticulum:matrix.org
Providing Feedback & Ideas
Likewise, feedback, ideas and feature requests are a very welcome way to contribute, and should also be posted on the discussions, or on the Reticulum Matrix channel at #reticulum:matrix.org.
Please do not post feature requests or general ideas on the issue tracker, or in direct messages to the primary developers. You are much more likely to get a response and start a constructive discussion by posting your ideas in the public channels created for these purposes.
Reporting Issues
If you have found a bug or issue in Reticulum, please report it on the issue tracker.
Writing Code
If you are interested in contributing code, fixing open issues or adding features, please coordinate the effort with the maintainer or one of the main developers first, to ensure your efforts are in alignment with the Roadmap and current development focus.
