Platform Collective is an open, community-run organization, and contributions of every kind are welcome — code, documentation, testing, design, triage, and reviews.
- Open and meritocratic. Anyone can contribute; influence is earned through
sustained, good-faith work. The path from first contribution to maintainer is
described in
GOVERNANCE.md. - Transparent. Significant decisions happen in the open, in issues and discussions, with a written record.
- Quality first. We value clear, well-tested, well-typed code and helpful reviews over speed.
- Respectful. All participants follow our Code of Conduct. For non-trivial changes, open an issue or discussion before writing a large change, so we can agree on the approach.
- platform — the main repository: the platform itself (core, plugins, services, and UI). Start here for features, bug fixes, and improvements to the product.
- platform-selfhost — everything you need to run the platform on your own infrastructure: Docker and Compose setups, deployment manifests, configuration examples, and step-by-step guides. Contribute here to make self-hosting easier and more reliable.
- Find an open issue (look for
good first issueorhelp wanted), or propose your own. - Read the target repository's
CONTRIBUTING.mdfor setup and conventions. - Open a focused pull request and link the related issue.
Welcome aboard.
