## DASL Guide

We maintain the [WILDS Contributor Guide][guide] as a collection of guidelines,
review criteria, and best practices for developing production-ready WDL and 
Nextflow workflows, research compendia, Docker files and software.

Our goal in developing the WILDS Contributor Guide is not just limited to the
care and keeping of WILDS, we hope it can serve as a model for research or
software development groups in terms of how they think about code and software
quality.


## Make a contribution

If you would like to make a contribution to any DaSL WILDS projects please open 
a pull request in the appropriate GitHub repository. For example, if you want to 
make a contribution to the [sixtyfour][] package, open a pull request in 
the repository for that package at <https://github.com/getwilds/sixtyfour/>.
We are interested in accepting many different types of contributions. If you
have not contributed to WILDS in the past, get in touch by emailing us and we
would be happy to discuss the contribution you have in mind. Contributions in
the form of reporting reproducable bugs, bug fixes, new  features, improved 
documentation, additional software tests, translation and localization, blogs,
or tutorials are all welcome.

If you are interested in making another kind of contribution, we would be happy
to chat. Please contact us at [`wilds@fredhutch.org`](mailto:wilds@fredhutch.org).
