Contributing

How to Contribute

Contributions to this project are managed through a standard github process for external contributions, by forking this repository, making changes in your fork, and then creating a pull request in the main repository to request that an administrator review and accept this changes into the repository. You must have a github account to do this. This github guide to forking provides general instructions on how to make a fork, make changes, and create a pull request back in the original repository. We recommend cloning the repository on your local machine and making edits to these files and committing and pushing them back to the repository, because working in the github editor can be difficult. We further recommend working within a text or code editor (not Excel) to make changes to the .csv files, because when Excel opens and saves the files it results in changes to special characters due to encoding issues. Once you perform a pull request, please request that it be reviewed by a maintainer.
