[Meta] Ways to Contribute

TimidRobot commented 1 year ago

Overview

This meta-issue should not be worked on itself. Instead it is a place for me (@TimidRobot) to document ways to engage with this project.

Pull Requests (PRs)
- Contribute a PR for an existing issue per Contribution Guidelines — Creative Commons Open Source
- Help review PRs
Issues
- Create a new issue recommending a data source that should be included. Include information like:
- quantity of records
- types of metadata available
- API documentation link
- API requirements and limitations
- (Also see sources.md)
- Create a new issue making a singular recommendation related to #22
- 22
- Create a new issue related to a single script or data source:
- Scripts should be using .env (theskumar/python-dotenv) and not query_secrets.py or similar
- Scripts mustn't be monolithic--they should be limited to a single phase (ex. query, process, report. See #22)
- Scripts must be designed to be run from the repository root via pipenv (ex. pipenv run PATH/SCRIPT.PY)
  - Script should determine its own path and set appropriate global variables (ex. DIR_ROOT, DIR_SCRIPT)
- Scripts have a lot of duplication between them. Begin a shared library (remember to keep issues as small and descrete as possible--limit each issue/PR to a single script or data source).
- Scripts should be using retries with exponential backoff (ex. #2)

Please see Contribution Guidelines — Creative Commons Open Source for how we manage issues and PRs (we generally don't assign issues prior to resolution, and this issue is [Meta] and will not be assigned).

hey i wish to contribute to this repo but don't see any open issues that I can work on

@akshansh-modi this project is currently in flux as it is reorganized as part of GSoC. It should be easier to contribute late summer or early fall.
