# Contributing
[ This is a placeholder, because it's early days and the volume of contributions thus far can be counted in an eggcup ]
* Contributions are very welcome
* Please open an issue (or otherwise establish some kind of dialogue) before you send a PR I haven't asked for.
Just so I know it's expected and you're not wasting time doing something I won't accept or have already started on
* The Nix code in Liminix is MIT-licenced (same as Nixpkgs), but the code it combines from other places (e.g. Linux, OpenWRT) may
have a variety of licences. I have no intention of asking for copyright assignment: just like when submitting to the
Linux kernel you retain the copyright on the code you contribute.
* Please govern yourself in Liminix project venues according to the guidance in the [geekfeminism "Community Anti-harassment Policy"](https://geekfeminism.wikia.org/wiki/Community_anti-harassment/Policy).
* If you've read the preceding bullets and don't find anything to disagree with, open a PR

## Contributing
Contributions are welcome, though in these early days there may be a
bit of back and forth involved before patches are merged. Have a read
of [CONTRIBUTING](CONTRIBUTING.md) and [STYLE](STYLE.md) and try to
intuit the unarticulated vision :-)
Liminix' primary repo is https://gti.telent.net/dan/liminix. There's a
[mirror on Github](https://github.com/telent/liminix) for convenience
and visibility: you can open PRs against that but be aware that the
process of merging them may be arcane. Some day, we will have
federated Gitea using ActivityPub.
