Bounties

You can earn the undying love of the IPFS community and make some money by closing an issue with the bounty tag! Submissions must be production-ready and meet all the specifications listed on the issue page. Check out the current list of open bounties →

If you are attempting to close an issue, great! Thanks for the help! Please leave a comment within the issue requesting to be assigned to that issue before submitting a pull request. This minimizes the chance of multiple different contributors duplicating work by submitting pull requests for the same issue. If you submit a pull request to an issue without first being assigned to it, that pull request may not be accepted.

Suggestions

Everyone has an opinion when it comes to docs, and that's a good thing! Having folks from different backgrounds add to a discussion empowers everyone within that discussion. So if you've got something to add or would like to bring up a topic for discussion about the IPFS Docs project, please do so! Just create an issue using the kind/question tag!.

Pull requests welcome

Feel free to submit pull requests with any changes you'd like to see! If you're simply changing a typo or editing out a styling bug, you can add ciskip to the title of your pull request to stop Filecorgi from running.
