# Contributing
Contributions to this project are very welcome!
If you discover a bug or would like better support for a feature, please do the following:
1. Submit an Issue.
I'm actively developing this project and will review incoming issues.
1. Check out the source code and submit a PR.
If you're facile with Python and understand what you'd like to fix, submit a PR and I'll
review it as soon as I can. There's a `.devcontainer` available so you can creates commits
on this project in a GitHub codespace.
## Regarding use of Agents
`wavinfo` is an open-source project that is offered free for no commerical gain, and
is developed and maintained for educational and creative reasons.
If you use an agent or LLM to produce code for it you are missing out on the benefits
of contributing to an open-source project, particularly community, collaboration with
other developers and designers, and being able to learn and experiment without the
burden of deadlines or worrying about business cases or profits.
This project is supposed to be fun, do not let machines have fun for you.
We can't prevent you from using LLMs to contribute to this project but we ask you
abide by the following eitiquette when doing so:
* All communication with the maintainers must be written by a human in their own
voice. Never use an LLM to craft thread comments, discussion posts, issues, emails
or other correspondence with other developers or the maintainers.
* PRs must be submitted by a person. Do not allow an agent to submit its own PRs to
this project.
* Especially if you are a new contributor to this project, please submit only one PR
at a time and please restrict the subject matter of the PR to a specific unit,
module or tool. All submissions have to be reviewed and understood by the
maintainers before they can be merged.
Obviously we can't verify if you follow all of these rules but certain telltale
traits of LLM-predicted text or code will raise a flag: lack of brevity in
descriptions or code comments, large amounts of text describing your process or
steps that add little to understanding the changes you've made, use of an
obsequious tone or being excessively accomodating, immediately doing requests
without further discussion or clarifications.
