Thank you for taking the time to contribute! :tada::+1:
The following is a set of guidelines for contributing to Redash. These are guidelines, not rules, please use your best judgement and feel free to propose changes to this document in a pull request.
- Search for existing issues first. If you find a previous report of your issue, please update the existing issue with additional information instead of creating a new one.
- If you are not sure if your issue is really a bug or just some configuration/setup problem, please start a discussion in [the support forum](https://discuss.redash.io/c/support) first. Unless you can provide clear steps to reproduce, it's probably better to start with a thread in the forum and later to open an issue.
- If you still decide to open an issue, please review the template and guidelines and include as much details as possible.
- Please check [the roadmap](https://trello.com/b/b2LUHU7A/re-dash-roadmap) for existing Trello card for what you want to suggest/ask. If there is, feel free to upvote it to signal interest or add your comments.
- If there is no existing card, open a thread in [the forum](https://discuss.redash.io/c/feature-requests) to start a discussion about what you want to suggest. Try to provide as much details and context as possible and include information about *the problem you want to solve* rather only *your proposed solution*.
- **Code contributions are welcomed**. For big changes or significant features, it's usually better to reach out first and discuss what you want to implement and how (we recommend reading: [Pull Request First](https://medium.com/practical-blend/pull-request-first-f6bb667a9b6#.ozlqxvj36)). This to make sure that what you want to implement is aligned with our goals for the project and that no one else is already working on it.
- Include screenshots and animated GIFs in your pull request whenever possible.
- Please add [documentation](#documentation) for new features or changes in functionality along with the code.
- Please follow existing code style. We use PEP8 for Python and sensible style for Javascript.
The project's documentation can be found at [docs.redash.io](http://docs.redash.io/). The [documentation sources](https://github.com/getredash/redash/tree/master/docs) are managed along with the code and to contribute edits / new pages, you can use GitHub's interface. Click the "Edit on GitHub" link on the documentation page to quickly open the edit interface.
The pages are written in *reStructuredText* format, which is very similar to Markdown.
## Additional Notes
### Release Method
We publish a stable release every ~2 months, although the goal is to get to a stable release every month. You can see the change log on [GitHub releases page](http://github.com/getredash/redash/releases).
Every build of the master branch updates the latest *RC release*. These releases are usually stable, but might contain regressions and therefore recommended for "advanced users" only.
When we release a new stable release, we also update the *latest* Docker image tag, the EC2 AMIs and GCE images.
This project adheres to the Contributor Covenant [code of conduct](http://redash.io/community/code_of_conduct). By participating, you are expected to uphold this code. Please report unacceptable behavior to team@redash.io.
