How to contribute¶

Thanks for your interest in helping make SuperCollider sound even better! 🙏

If you’re new to this project, you might be wondering …

How can I contribute?¶

SC grows through contributions large and small. Many, or even most, contributions don’t involve writing code. Here are some of the many ways to contribute:

• 🚩 Creating an Issue (reporting a Bug, requesting a Feature)

• ✏️ Updating or correcting documentation

• ✅ Fixing an open Issue and submitting a Pull Request

• 🔍 Reviewing Issues and Pull Requests

• 🏷️ Triaging and labeling Issues

• 🏗️ Creating (or responding to) a Request for Comment (RFC) to propose something BIG that needs research, feedback, and consensus to move forward

• 🌐 Translating the IDE into a language you know

• 💬 Helping and sharing with other users on the various community forums

You’ll find information on all of these topics and more in the Contributing directory. Once you’re familiar with these processes, you may have more want more in-depth information about the project structure, conventions, specifications, etc., which you’ll find in the Development resources directory.

If you’re new to contributing to open source projects, the Guide to idiomatic contributing has a lot of useful information.

If you’re new to this project, check out the issues tagged “good first issue” – fixing one of these is a great way to get started as a contributor!
