# How to contribute to the APM project?
|
|
|
|
If you are reading this page, you are possibly interested in contributing to our project. We have a very active (and friendly) developer group and would love to have the help! Possible ways you can help:
|
|
|
|
* Testing the code
|
|
* Filing issues on github, when you see a problem (or adding detail to existing issues that effect you)
|
|
* Fixing issues
|
|
* Adding new features
|
|
* Reviewing existing pull requests, and notifying the maintainer if it passes your code review.
|
|

# How to make a good bug report...
|
|
|
|
* Make sure your bug is not a support issue. Support issues should go to [the APM forums](http://discuss.ardupilot.org). Support issues with logs attached should generally go to the "Log files, Tuning, and Analysis of Log files" section. If you're not sure you have a bug, you should seek support first.
|
|
* Search for your bug, make sure it is not already reported. If it is already reported, make a comment on that issue.
|
|
* Only report one bug per issue report.
|
|
* Write a clear and concise summary. Be specific about what component of the software you are writing about, and follow the convention: "Copter: blah blah blah"
|
|
* Write a clear and concise description, with **particularly clear steps** to reproduce the problem. Include logs that display the bug. **Try to report only facts in your issue report, keeping your assumptions out of it.**
|
|
* The majority of issues open now are good or acceptable by these guidelines. Please refer to them for examples.
