How to contribute?

June 12, 2016 ยท View on GitHub

Building Global IRT requires consensus. Consensus is not always easy to achieve and it will always require discussions.

We will use github as a tool to

  • have discussions (via issues)
  • track change requests
  • track changes
  • support versioning of the Global IRT project and the common taxonomy of CSIRT

Having emphasised the consensus, please follow these guidelines for contributing:

  1. first use github's issue tracker to propose changes
  2. propose a change via github's pull request mechanism
  3. accept possibly some more discussions (and don't give up)
  4. these changes will go through eventually
  5. a new version of the Global IRT standard will be tagged in github as such,
  6. old versions will be archived and marked as old.

Maintainer HOWTO:

  1. new pull request comes in and gets approved
  2. maintaners pull it in, update: - examples/ - latest.json - tag the new commit with a new version number
