How to contribute to DROID

Organisation

At the time of writing 10/06/2020,

github issues are prioritized in a spreadsheet, and are labelled on what our priorities are for the upcoming future ( HIGH / MEDIUM / LOW )
Please leave to the developers from The National Archives those labelled as to-be-done-by-tna.
If you want to start with something simple, not too technical, please consider easy-task labelled tasks. Some of them might be easy technically, but require a large amount of work, feel free to contribute even partially, any help is greatly appreciated.
Please avoid taking tasks already assigned, or ask first how you can help if you want, to avoid duplicating any existing work.
We organise our work in GitHub Kanban board

Create a branch to implement a single feature from master within the DROID repository or
Create a fork in your own space and do the implementation
Once the implementation is finished, open A PR and get someone to review it
Reviewers, once happy with the implementation may merge the changes into master

when you submit a new PR for review, please ensure

acceptance tests are provided if needed
build is successful on Github actions (mvn clean install on all supported JDKs)
documentation is up to date
- github readme for common features
- wiki for developer guidance, process release, etc
- GUI or CLI help when relevant
- GUI user guide > new features if new significant features
behaviour between Command Line Interface and Graphic User Interface is consistent (they should offer the same features when possible)
