Contributing to MoodleNet

How we collaborate

First off, thank you for considering contributing to MoodleNet!

Our aim is for this project to make you feel welcome as a contributor. We hugely value the comments and contributions of community members in the various publicly-accessible areas in use, which currently are:

Home: Project Wiki
Code: GitLab
Feature/improvement requests: ChangeMap
Issue tracking: GitLab
Discussion: MoodleNet forum
Chat: Telegram (TBC)

Other useful information

It’s early days for MoodleNet, so we’re focused on laying down the foundations for the project. This means that you won’t find much usable code yet.
We’re working as openly and transparently as possible with this project. As a contributor or member of the MoodleNet community, almost everything you come across will link to some other things that you should have access to. If you don’t have access, and you think you should, just ask!
We have a monthly community call, which you’ll find announced on our blog. We’re currently re-scoping these in the light of GDPR, so stay tuned!

We practice Ethical Design

We endeavour to build technology that respects human rights, human effort, and human experience, and hope you will join in this effort.
