Contributing to the BAND Framework

Contributions of source code, documentations, and fixes are happily accepted via github merge requests. Please see

https://bandframework.github.io/software/

for a discussion of the process.

If you are planning a contribution, reporting bugs, or suggesting features, we encourage you to discuss the concept by opening a github issue at

https://github.com/bandframework/bandframework/issues

or by emailing members of the BAND and interacting with us to ensure that your effort is well-directed.

To contribute a package to the BAND Framework, please see the [BAND Software Development Kit (SDK)](/resources/sdkpolicies/bandsdk.md), which includes requirements and recommendations.

Authorship

BAND expects new major version releases of the framework to occur annually.

Status as a named coauthor will be granted for those who:

  1. make significant contributions to the Framework (in implementation, documentation, conceptualization, review, etc.) and
  2. maintain and support those contributions.

BAND's Design and Oversight Committee (DOC) will do their best to notice when contributions reach this level by editing AUTHORS, but please email or create an issue if you believe your contributions have met these criteria and haven't yet been acknowledged.

Coauthorship is expected to persist in all future releases, with new contributors being appended to the list of authors. If contributors decline to be listed as coauthors, they will be acknowledged in the repository, manual, and release notes.
