1# Contributing
2
3Kivik is an open source project, and contributions are always welcome.

5Contributing to Kivik involves very little formal procedure.  Anyone is
6encouraged to file bug reports, feature requests, or submit PRs.  PRs are not
7guaranteed to be accepted, but they are guaranteed to be reviewed and discussed.
8For any large-scale change, opening an issue to discuss the change prior to
9submitting a PR is probably appropriate, to avoid possibly wasting time on an
10implementation that may not be accepted.
