Getting Involved

Iris is an Open Source project hosted on Github and as such anyone with a GitHub account may create an issue on our Iris GitHub project page for raising:

  • bug reports

  • documentation improvements

The Iris GitHub project has been configured to use templates for each of the above issue types when creating a new issue to ensure the appropriate information is provided.

A pull request may also be created by anyone who has become a contributor to Iris. Permissions to merge pull requests to the main code base (master) are only given to core developers of Iris, this is to ensure a measure of control.

To get started we suggest reading recent issues and pull requests for Iris.
