How to Contribute

Data!

We greatly appreciate donated data from existing forums to improve the migration and its testing (using partial, anonymized records). A complete database dump is best way to do this. We protect privacy, but you're welcome to anonymize personally-identifiable information first. Willing to sign an extremely narrow NDA for the purpose if necessary. Contact lincoln@icrontic.com.

Document a bug

Start a discussion if you've found a reproducible defect. Please include expected vs actual outcome and full steps to reproduce it reliably. We don't currently maintain an issue tracker.

Submit a fix or improvement

Send a pull request with a proposed fix! It's greatly appreciated. Please document your understanding of the change, it makes review much easier! Try using conventional commits for a nicer changelog.
