| 3 | +If you are interested in contributing to ___PROJECT___, your contributions will fall |
| 4 | +into three categories: |
| 5 | +1. You want to report a bug, feature request, or documentation issue |
| 6 | + - File an [issue](https://github.com/rapidsai/___PROJECT___/issues/new/choose) |
| 7 | + describing what you encountered or what you want to see changed. |
| 8 | + - The RAPIDS team will evaluate the issues and triage them, scheduling |
| 9 | + them for a release. If you believe the issue needs priority attention |
| 10 | + comment on the issue to notify the team. |
| 11 | +2. You want to propose a new Feature and implement it |
| 12 | + - Post about your intended feature, and we shall discuss the design and |
| 13 | + implementation. |
| 14 | + - Once we agree that the plan looks good, go ahead and implement it, using |
| 15 | + the [code contributions](#code-contributions) guide below. |
| 16 | +3. You want to implement a feature or bug-fix for an outstanding issue |
| 17 | + - Follow the [code contributions](#code-contributions) guide below. |
| 18 | + - If you need more context on a particular issue, please ask and we shall |
| 19 | + provide. |
| 20 | + |
| 21 | +## Code contributions |
| 22 | + |
| 23 | +### Your first issue |
| 24 | + |
| 25 | +1. Read the project's [README.md](https://github.com/rapidsai/___PROJECT___/blob/master/README.md) |
| 26 | + to learn how to setup the development environment |
| 27 | +2. Find an issue to work on. The best way is to look for the [good first issue](https://github.com/rapidsai/___PROJECT___/issues?q=is%3Aissue+is%3Aopen+label%3A%22good+first+issue%22) |
| 28 | + or [help wanted](https://github.com/rapidsai/___PROJECT___/issues?q=is%3Aissue+is%3Aopen+label%3A%22help+wanted%22) labels |
| 29 | +3. Comment on the issue saying you are going to work on it |
| 30 | +4. Code! Make sure to update unit tests! |
| 31 | +5. When done, [create your pull request](https://github.com/rapidsai/___PROJECT___/compare) |
| 32 | +6. Verify that CI passes all [status checks](https://help.github.com/articles/about-status-checks/). Fix if needed |
| 33 | +7. Wait for other developers to review your code and update code as needed |
| 34 | +8. Once reviewed and approved, a RAPIDS developer will merge your pull request |
| 35 | + |
| 36 | +Remember, if you are unsure about anything, don't hesitate to comment on issues |
| 37 | +and ask for clarifications! |
| 38 | + |
| 39 | +### Seasoned developers |
| 40 | + |
| 41 | +Once you have gotten your feet wet and are more comfortable with the code, you |
| 42 | +can look at the prioritized issues of our next release in our [project boards](https://github.com/rapidsai/___PROJECT___/projects). |
| 43 | + |
| 44 | +> **Pro Tip:** Always look at the release board with the highest number for |
| 45 | +issues to work on. This is where RAPIDS developers also focus their efforts. |
| 46 | + |
| 47 | +Look at the unassigned issues, and find an issue you are comfortable with |
| 48 | +contributing to. Start with _Step 3_ from above, commenting on the issue to let |
| 49 | +others know you are working on it. If you have any questions related to the |
| 50 | +implementation of the issue, ask them in the issue instead of the PR. |
