# Contributing to PostgREST
**First:** if you're unsure or afraid of _anything_, just ask or
submit the issue or pull request anyways. You won't be yelled at
for giving your best effort. The worst that can happen is that
you'll be politely asked to change something. We appreciate any
sort of contributions, and don't want a wall of rules to get in the
way of that.
However, for those individuals who want a bit more guidance on the
best way to contribute to the project, read on. This document will
cover what we're looking for. By addressing all the points we're
looking for, it raises the chances we can quickly merge or address
your contributions.
## Issues
### Reporting an Issue
* Make sure you test against the latest released version. It is possible
we already fixed the bug you're experiencing.
* Also check the `CHANGELOG.md` to see if any unreleased changes affect
the issue. The very newest changes can take a little while to be released
as a new official version.
* Provide steps to reproduce the issue, including your OS version and
the specific database schema that you are using.
## Code
### Haskell Conventions
* All contributions must pass the tests before being merged. When
you create a pull request your code will automatically be tested.
* All code must also pass [hlint](http://community.haskell.org/~ndm/hlint/)
with no warnings. This helps enforce a uniform style for all
committers. Continuous integration will check this as well on every
pull request.
* For help building the Haskell code on your computer check out the [building from
source](https://github.com/begriffs/postgrest/wiki/Building-from-source)
wiki page.
## Maintenance
### Schedule
Currently I (@begriffs) am the sole maintainer, and while I am
overjoyed to help resolve issues I also have to balance this with
my other obligations. If you don't get a response right away
don't worry, I will definitely get to it. Also you can join the
Gitter [chat room](https://gitter.im/begriffs/postgrest) to
discuss issues you are having.
