Contributor's Guide

Welcome

CCL currently does not take any code contributions from outside. However, there are other ways you can help improve CCL, and this guide will show you how. The founding culture of CCL is one of respect and appreciation for those who desire to contribute. To make contributors as effective as possible, this document outlines how you can go about contributing to CCL. There are several ways you can contribute, such as:

Create issues on the GitHub page to provide feedback

It is important to reiterate that the CCL project is currently not accepting outside code contributions. This means that pull requests will be ignored. However, you are encouraged to create issues on the GitHub page to report any issues or otherwise provide feedback on the project. The feedback you provide here is much appreciated, and is a major contribution to the project.

Some examples of the kind of feedback you can provide include bugs or unexpected behavior that you have found while using CCL, and grammatical or technical mistakes in the documentation. CCL prides itself in its attention to detail so please allow the inner OCD (obsessive-compulsive disorder) in you shine and don't hesitate to report small mistakes that take away from the perfection we strive for. Reporting minor issues is highly appreciated. Getting the small things right is very important.

Become a sponsor

Sponsoring the development of CCL is another major contribution that is always welcome. Though CCL is a great piece of software, it is a volunteer effort, and financial support goes a long way to supporting the project. It is with sponsorship money that this project can be worked on full-time and enjoy a steady pace of progress, so if your business benefits from CCL then consider helping to fund it. CCL sponsorship is done through the GitHub Sponsors program. Simply log into GitHub, go to the CCL repository, click the Sponsor button and choose a tier.

Evangelize CCL

You can also contribute to CCL by evangelizing it. If you find it useful, recommend that your programmer friends check it out. Show it to your coworkers. Spread the word on discussion forums when you inevitably find someone who wants to print letters with accents because they speak a language other than English.
