You can become a contributor to the Rokwire community through a number of channels. The first step is to join our Slack team or Discord server.

The most traditional type of contribution is in the form of computer code (building blocks and apps). This includes reporting bugs, requesting features/enhancements, and contributing code. If you are an advanced developer looking to innovate, you should search for existing issues and pull requests in the various Rokwire GitHub repositories to see if what you are planning to contribute is already under discussion.
Other types of contributions are also welcome, from conceptual advances to attending community events, and from participation in community discussions to writing and editing. We look forward to hearing and learning from you and receiving your contribution!
We are excited that you may be interested in contributing code to the Rokwire Platform. To maintain standards of programming and to keep things manageable, we request that you follow our open-source workflow procedure. You may also want to read more about Bug Reports, Accessibility Reports, and New Feature Requests.
