Thank you for your interest in helping to improve TRACMASS!
Currently, there is not a core team dedicated to TRACMASS development; instead, a few passionate researchers manage this platform in their free time. Nevertheless, there are multiple ways you can contribute to TRACMASS, including: new feature additions, code optimization, documentation updates, reporting and fixing bugs, and graphical interface development.
Here we provide basic instructions on how you can become a TRACMASS contributor!
Our software is hosted on GitHub, and you can find it here. There are multiple repositories, but the currently used TRACMASS version is version 7 . The repository for our website can be found . Feel free to look at both of them; we always welcome contributions from people who use our software!
Github issue tracker
It is possible to submit issues on Github, so that we can see and address the bugs in TRACMASS codebase and our website:
New feature addition
If you're ready to contribute to the TRACMASS code, please follow these steps:
First, create a fork of our most recent repository (which is the main branch and can be found here). For detailed instructions on how to fork a repository, please refer to the official GitHub guidelines here. Once forked, you can implement the changes you are interested in, whether that involves adding new features, fixing bugs, or other improvements.
Once your changes are complete, please submit a pull request (you can learn more about this process here). As we do not have a core team dedicated to TRACMASS development, please be patient; it may take some time for your pull request to be reviewed. We also encourage you to announce your new features or contributions in our GitHub community discussion area so other users can see and benefit from your work!
