As an open source platform, we are very keen to have patches, and we very much welcome extensions and improvements to Terrier.

Contributing to the Community

You can make an issue on the issue tracker when you have a patch. Often, if you make the issue before you make the change, we can discuss with you the best way to make the change to Terrier. When your patch is ready, attach it to the issue, where we will review it, and probably ask for changes. In general, small incremental patches are easier for us to integrate than large changes.
