Contributing to floWeaver

Thanks for your interest in contributing to floWeaver! 🎉

floWeaver is an open Python framework to help exchange and analyse flow data and visualise it using Sankey diagrams. There are lots of ways you can get involved and help, from sharing examples of work done using it, providing feedback, improving the documentation and identifying and fixing bugs in the code. See the "what shall I do?!" board for examples!

This document is a set of guidelines for contributing to floWeaver on GitHub. These are guidelines, not rules. This guide is meant to make it easy for you to get involved.

Participation guidelines

This project adheres to a code of conduct. By participating, you are expected to uphold this code. Please report unacceptable behavior to Rick Lupton mail@ricklupton.name.

What we're working on

For an overview of what's happening, we have a detailed Roadmap showing what we are working on up to May 2018; beyond that there is the longer-term Roadmap.

Browse some good first bugs arranged by types of contribution on the "what shall I do?!" board or see the full list of good first bugs to get started! If you have any questions please get in touch (see below).

The project is split between 3 repositories:

  • The floWeaver Python package (this repository): data aggregation, preparation, conversion
  • The d3-sankey-diagram: layout, SVG rendering of Sankey diagrams
  • The ipysankeywidget: embed d3-sankey-diagram within Jupyter notebooks
