## Contributing
|
|
The development of scratch-vm 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-vm/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 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).
