Contributing to RCzechia
Source:CONTRIBUTING.md
This outlines how to propose a change to RCzechia. No matter your current skills, it’s possible to contribute to the package.
I appreciate any sort of contribution, no matter how big or small it may seem. A bug report is extremely valuable, as it points to an error that was missed in automated testing and causes a problem that needs fixing.
Fixing typos
You can fix typos, spelling mistakes, or grammatical errors in the documentation directly using the GitHub web interface, as long as the changes are made in the source file. This generally means you’ll need to edit roxygen2 comments in an .R
, not a .Rd
file. You can find the .R
file that generates the .Rd
by reading the comment in the first line.
Greater changes
If you want to make a bigger change, it’s a good idea to file an issue first and agree on the right approach, before comitting time and effort in a particular direction.
Suggest a dataset to be included
Given the focus of the package on providing relevant datasets a common issue is proposing a new spatial datset (datasets). I am open to extending the package functionality and making of the users easier; I appreciate new inspiration in both social and physical science areas.
The best approach for this is by filing a ticket on the Issues page. If possible with a suggestion – a link or what not – of a relevant source of the dataset to be introduced.
