| # Contributing to Apache DataFusion Comet |
| |
| We welcome contributions to Comet in many areas, and encourage new contributors to get involved. |
| |
| Here are some areas where you can help: |
| |
| - Testing Comet with existing Spark jobs and reporting issues for any bugs or performance issues |
| - Contributing code to support Spark expressions, operators, and data types that are not currently supported |
| - Reviewing pull requests and helping to test new features for correctness and performance |
| - Improving documentation |
| |
| ## Finding issues to work on |
| |
| We maintain a list of good first issues in GitHub [here](https://github.com/apache/datafusion-comet/issues?q=is%3Aopen+is%3Aissue+label%3A%22good+first+issue%22). |
| |
| ## Reporting issues |
| |
| We use [GitHub issues](https://github.com/apache/datafusion-comet/issues) for bug reports and feature requests. |
| |
| ## Asking for Help |
| |
| The Comet project uses the same Slack and Discord channels as the main Apache DataFusion project. See details at |
| [Apache DataFusion Communications]. There are dedicated Comet channels in both Slack and Discord. |
| |
| ## Regular public meetings |
| |
| The Comet contributors hold regular video calls where new and current contributors are welcome to ask questions and |
| coordinate on issues that they are working on. |
