Thanks for your interest in getting involved in the π-Base! The community looks forward to having you join us in making our free and open database as useful as possible for the mathematics community.

Your first step is to create a free GitHub account at GitHub.com/signup. Then, we encourage you to come back to this page and say hello!

We have a wiki at https://github.com/pi-base/data/wiki/Contributing that we try to keep updated. You'll need to learn a little bit about how Git and GitHub works, but you can do everything with your web browser, and you won't need to learn any programming languages or command-line commands to make your first contribution. (If the wiki could be more helpful, feel free to edit it!)

You also might consider opening a Discussion thread (for general discussion) or Issue (for specific suggestions of something to add/change to π-Base) to start a conversation before diving in head-first.

We also have regular "Community Call" Zooms, which are open to anyone who wants to join.

We're excited to support you in learning how to become a contributor. Thanks again! -Steven

I'm Steven - I'm on the faculty at the University of South Alabama, and I've been involved with the pi-Base in varying capacities since it started as a project led by my buddy @jamesdabbs when we were in graduate school. These days I've taken responsibility to serve as its lead mathematical editor, but the π-Base only works because of all our great volunteer contirbutors and reviewers. 😁 Thanks for stopping by!
