Guidelines for low-value contribution

How can we prevent low-value contributions?

  • To understand issue etiquette, the credit system, and how to contribute, everyone should review how we contribute in the engineering handbook: https://engg-handbook.axelerant.com/docs/how-we-work/open-source-contribution/drupal-contribution

  • Before starting contributions to the Drupal community, everyone needs to complete this Leapsome course: https://www.leapsome.com/app/#/learning/path/659e84b73c1ccf3f01d889bd

  • Once they have gone through these documents and completed the course, they can start contributing to the Drupal community. They can begin with novice issues, which are primarily for new contributors.

  • We have a Slack integration with Contrib Tracker that shows all the contributions made by everyone. This allows us to monitor the issues people are working on and provide feedback if they are doing something incorrectly.

If we discover any low-value contributions:

  • We will create a Slack channel with the team member, their manager, and other relevant stakeholders.

  • Ask the team member to go to those issues, remove the low-value contributions, and provide a detailed explanation of how the mistake was made.

  • Enroll them in the Leapsome course (if they have not already completed it) and ask them not to contribute until they have finished the course.

  • Guide them with their new contributions. A mentor can be assigned for their next issues (first or second), providing guidance on how to make meaningful contributions.
