Our project welcomes external contributions. If you have an itch, please feel
free to scratch it.
To contribute code or documentation, please submit a [pull request](https://github.com/docling-project/docling/pulls).
A good way to familiarize yourself with the codebase and contribution process is
to look for and tackle low-hanging fruit in the [issue tracker](https://github.com/docling-project/docling/issues).
Before embarking on a more ambitious contribution, please quickly [get in touch](#communication) with us.
For general questions or support requests, please refer to the [discussion section](https://github.com/docling-project/docling/discussions).
**Note: We appreciate your effort and want to avoid situations where a contribution
requires extensive rework (by you or by us), sits in the backlog for a long time, or
cannot be accepted at all!**
### Proposing New Features
If you would like to implement a new feature, please [raise an issue](https://github.com/docling-project/docling/issues)
before sending a pull request so the feature can be discussed. This is to avoid
you spending valuable time working on a feature that the project developers
are not interested in accepting into the codebase.
### Fixing Bugs
If you would like to fix a bug, please [raise an issue](https://github.com/docling-project/docling/issues) before sending a
pull request so it can be tracked.
### Merge Approval
The project maintainers use LGTM (Looks Good To Me) in comments on the code
review to indicate acceptance. A change requires LGTMs from two of the
maintainers of each component affected.
For a list of the maintainers, see the [MAINTAINERS.md](MAINTAINERS.md) page.
## Legal
Each source file must include a license header for the MIT
Software. Using the SPDX format is the simplest approach,
e.g.
```
/*
Copyright IBM Inc. All rights reserved.
SPDX-License-Identifier: MIT
*/
```
We have tried to make it as easy as possible to make contributions. This
applies to how we handle the legal aspects of contribution. We use the
same approach - the [Developer's Certificate of Origin 1.1 (DCO)](https://github.com/hyperledger/fabric/blob/master/docs/source/DCO1.1.txt) - that the Linux® Kernel [community](https://elinux.org/Developer_Certificate_Of_Origin)
uses to manage code contributions.
We simply ask that when submitting a patch for review, the developer
must include a sign-off statement in the commit message.
Here is an example Signed-off-by line, which indicates that the
submitter accepts the DCO:
```
Signed-off-by: John Doe <john.doe@example.com>
```
You can include this automatically when you commit a change to your
local git repository using the following command:
```
git commit -s
```
### New dependencies
This project strictly adheres to using dependencies that are compatible with the MIT license to ensure maximum flexibility and permissiveness in its usage and distribution. As a result, dependencies licensed under restrictive terms such as GPL, LGPL, AGPL, or similar are explicitly excluded. These licenses impose additional requirements and limitations that are incompatible with the MIT license's minimal restrictions, potentially affecting derivative works and redistribution. By maintaining this policy, the project ensures simplicity and freedom for both developers and users, avoiding conflicts with stricter copyleft provisions.
