MMEngine community collaboration

Interested in deeply participating in OpenMMLab projects? Want to learn more about OpenMMLab's awesome tools? MMEngine calls for volunteers from the community to participate in daily development!! MMEngine will update feature requests or bug fixes tasks regularly.

If you are a new bee to the open source project, and not familiar with MMEngine. Don't worry, there are always some easy tasks for you to start with, such as document translation or typo fixes. You'll be familiar with how to post a PR and discuss it with other developers in this process 😄 , just enjoy it! 🚀 .

If you are a senior developer, but not familiar with MMEngine, you can also participate in some tasks of developing independent modules, such as customizing a learning rate scheduler or a hook. This will help you to get familiar with MMEngine's code structure and data flow.

If you are a senior developer, and familiar with MMEngine, you can participate in some challenging tasks. These tasks commonly involve more than one module and require discussion with other developers to come up with a reasonable design.

We'll update the tasks marked with different difficulty levels regularly, and you can pick a task as you wish while enjoying your coffee. Don't feel burdened by picking a task. Participating in open source is a matter of interest, and just complete it in your free time!

We appreciate all contributions to improve MMEngine 🤝.

Getting started (Easy)!

If you are not familiar with how to submit a PR, please follow the CONTRIBUTING or CONTRIBUTING_zh-CN to get started!
