Getting Involved

Please read the Community Participation Guidelines before filing an issue. This is Parole’s professional working environment as much as it is Parole’s bug tracker, and Parole wants to keep our workspace clean and healthy.

Browse our current Issues or file a security issue.
Check out the Project Wiki for more information.

Beginners! – Watch out for Issues with the “Good First Issue” label. These are easy bugs that have been left for first-timers to have a go, get involved, and make a positive contribution to the project!

I want to open a Pull Request!

Parole encourages you to participate in this open-source project. Parole loves Pull Requests, Bug Reports, ideas, (security) code reviews, or any other kind of positive contribution.

Since Parole is backed by a single person, however, Parole does not have the bandwidth to review unsolicited PRs. Please follow our Pull Request guidelines, or Parole may close the PR.

To make it easier to review, Parole has these PR requirements:

Write a clear explanation of what the code is doing when opening the pull request, and optionally add comments to the PR.
Make sure there are tests – or ask for help on how the code should be tested in the Issue!
Keep PRs small and to the point. For extra code-health changes, either file a separate issue or make it a separate PR that can be easily reviewed.
Use micro-commits. This makes it easier and faster to review.
Add a screenshot for UX changes (this is part of the PR checklist)

Keep in mind PR takes some time to review, so PRs sometimes wait for a very long time. However this is not for lack of interest, but because I find myself in a constant need to prioritize certain issues/PRs over others. If you think your issue/PR is very important, try to popularize it by getting other users to comment and share their points of view.

I want to file an issue!

Great! Parole encourages you to participate in this open-source project. Parole loves Pull Requests, Bug Reports, ideas, (security) code reviews, or any other kind of positive contribution.

To make it easier to triage, Parole has these issue requirements:

Please do your best to search for duplicate issues before filing a new issue so I can keep Parole’s issue board clean.
Every issue should have exactly one bug/feature request described in it. Please do not file meta feedback list tickets as it is difficult to parse them and address their individual points.
Feature Requests are better when they’re open-ended instead of demanding a specific solution -ie “I want an easier way to do X” instead of “add Y”
Issues are not the place to go off-topic or debate. If you have questions, please send a report to the Parole’s support address.
Please always refer to Github’s Community Guidelines
Please do not tag specific team members to try to get your issue looked at faster. Parole has a triage process that will tag and label issues correctly in due time. If you think an issue is very severe, you can ask about it in the Chatbox.

Please keep in mind that even though a feature you have in mind may seem like a small task, as an individual, I have to prioritize my planned work and every new feature adds complexity and maintenance and may take up design, research, marketing, product, and engineering time. I appreciate everyone’s passion but I will not be able to incorporate every feature request or even fix every bug. That being said, just because I haven’t replied, doesn’t mean I don’t care about the issue, please be patient with my response times as I’m very busy.
