Contributing to Resources

All Silicon Melbourne resources are open source and contributions are welcome. Each repository contains its own contributing guidelines and setup instructions. For general contribution guidance, see the main contributing guide or the respective repositories README.md (they all need work—don't be surprised to find limited information).

Development Coordination

The various resources are coordinated through the GitHub organisation and project backlog. Contributors working across multiple repositories should reference the project backlog to understand how their work fits into the broader community development efforts.
