Contributing

DSpace is a community built and supported project. We do not have a centralized development or support team, but have a dedicated group of volunteers who help us improve the software, documentation, resources, etc.

We welcome contributions of any type. Here's a few basic guides that provide suggestions for contributing to DSpace:

• How to Contribute to DSpace: How to contribute in general (via code, documentation, bug reports, expertise, etc)
• Code Contribution Guidelines: How to give back code or contribute features, bug fixes, etc.
• DSpace Community Advisory Team (DCAT): If you are not a developer, we also have an interest group specifically for repository managers. The DCAT group meets virtually, once a month, and sends open invitations to join their meetings via the DCAT mailing list.

We also encourage GitHub Pull Requests (PRs) at any time. Please see our Development with Git guide for more info.
