How to Contribute

Contributing to Carbonium

There are many ways to contribute to Carbonium: logging bugs, submitting pull requests, reporting issues, and creating suggestions.

After cloning and building the repo, check out the issues for a list of all potential areas for contributions.

To improve the chances to get a pull request merged you should select an issue that is labelled with the help-wanted or bug labels. If the issue you want to work on is not labelled with help-wanted or bug, you can start a conversation with the issue owner asking whether an external contribution will be considered.

Make a Design If Needed

Many tasks require changes to the design (graphical interface). To ensure that we create a consistent user experience, we must use the same design language and follow the same processes.

• The task should have a design-needed label.
• Explore the Carbonium UI kit and the shared project with the existing design. //TODO: add links
• Create the pull request and add a link to your design. This could be a Carbonium project, an image, css code - it does not matter as long as it follows the same design patterns and it is clear how to implement it.
• Wait for the Carbonium team to accept your proposed design by adding the design-accepted label.
• If you then would like to implement html/less, read on how to build and run the project.

Build and Run From Source

Carbonium is built with ReactJS and Webpack.
