# Contributing
|
|
Contributions include code, documentation, answering user questions, running the
|
|
project's infrastructure, and advocating for all types of users.
|
|
|
|
The project welcomes all contributions from anyone willing to work in good faith
|
|
with other contributors and the community. No contribution is too small and all
|
|
contributions are valued.
|
|
|
|
This guide explains the process for contributing to the project's GitHub
|
|
Repository.

## Code of Conduct
|
|
The project has a [Code of Conduct](./CODE_OF_CONDUCT.md) that *all*
|
|
contributors are expected to follow. This code describes the *minimum* behavior
|
|
expectations for all contributors.
|
|
|
|
As a contributor, how you choose to act and interact towards your
|
|
fellow contributors, as well as to the community, will reflect back not only
|
|
on yourself but on the project as a whole. The Code of Conduct is designed and
|
|
intended, above all else, to help establish a culture within the project that
|
|
allows anyone and everyone who wants to contribute to feel safe doing so.
|
|
|
|
Should any individual act in any way that is considered in violation of the
|
|
[Code of Conduct](./CODE_OF_CONDUCT.md), corrective actions will be taken. It is
|
|
possible, however, for any individual to *act* in such a manner that is not in
|
|
violation of the strict letter of the Code of Conduct guidelines while still
|
|
going completely against the spirit of what that Code is intended to accomplish.
|
|
|
|
Open, diverse, and inclusive communities live and die on the basis of trust.
|
|
Contributors can disagree with one another so long as they trust that those
|
|
disagreements are in good faith and everyone is working towards a common
|
|
goal.
|
|
|
|
## Bad Actors
|
|
All contributors to tacitly agree to abide by both the letter and
|
|
spirit of the [Code of Conduct](./CODE_OF_CONDUCT.md). Failure, or
|
|
unwillingness, to do so will result in contributions being respectfully
|
|
declined.
|
|
|
|
A *bad actor* is someone who repeatedly violates the *spirit* of the Code of
|
|
Conduct through consistent failure to self-regulate the way in which they
|
|
interact with other contributors in the project. In doing so, bad actors
|
|
alienate other contributors, discourage collaboration, and generally reflect
|
|
poorly on the project as a whole.
|
|
|
|
Being a bad actor may be intentional or unintentional. Typically, unintentional
|
|
bad behavior can be easily corrected by being quick to apologize and correct
|
|
course *even if you are not entirely convinced you need to*. Giving other
|
|
contributors the benefit of the doubt and having a sincere willingness to admit
|
|
that you *might* be wrong is critical for any successful open collaboration.
|
|
|
|
Don't be a bad actor.
