## Contributing
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
The development of Scratch is an ongoing process, and we love to have people in the Scratch and open source
|
||
|
|
communities help us along the way.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
If you're interested in contributing, please take a look at the
|
||
|
|
[issues](https://github.com/LLK/scratch-desktop/issues) on this repository.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Two great ways of helping are by identifying bugs and documenting them as issues, or fixing issues and creating pull
|
||
|
|
requests. When looking for bugs to fix, please look for the ["Help Wanted"
|
||
|
|
label](https://github.com/LLK/scratch-desktop/issues?q=label%3A%22help+wanted%22). Bugs with this label have been
|
||
|
|
specifically set aside for Open Source contributors. Issues without the label can also be worked on but we ask that
|
||
|
|
you comment on the issue prior to starting work. When submitting pull requests please be patient -- it can take a
|
||
|
|
while to find time to review them. The organization and class structures can't be radically changed without
|
||
|
|
significant coordination and collaboration from the Scratch Team, so these types of changes should be avoided.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
It's been said that the Scratch Team spends about one hour of design discussion for every pixel in Scratch, but some
|
||
|
|
think that estimate is a little low. While we welcome suggestions for new features in our [suggestions
|
||
|
|
forum](https://scratch.mit.edu/discuss/1/) (especially ones that come with mockups), we are unlikely to accept PRs
|
||
|
|
with new features that haven't been thought through and discussed as a group. Why? Because we have a strong belief in
|
||
|
|
the value of keeping things simple for new users. To learn more about our design philosophy, see [the Scratch
|
||
|
|
Developers page](https://scratch.mit.edu/developers), or [this
|
||
|
|
paper](http://web.media.mit.edu/~mres/papers/Scratch-CACM-final.pdf).
