| <a name="contribute"></a> |
| ## How to Contribute |
| |
| - **Workflows.** The best place to contribute Taverna workflows is on |
| [myExperiment](http://www.myexperiment.org). |
| |
| - **Code.** We welcome any contributions for the [source code](/download/code/) of Apache Taverna. See how to [contribute code](/download/code/#contribute-to-apache-taverna). |
| |
| - **Plugins.** The mechanism for writing *Apache Taverna 3 plugins* is still under development. Please contact the [dev@taverna](/community/lists#devtaverna) mailing list for details. (For *Taverna 2* (pre-Apache), see the [Creating plugins for Taverna 2](http://dev.mygrid.org.uk/wiki/display/developer/Creating+plugins+for+Taverna+2) tutorial.) |
| |
| - **Host a Taverna Server.** For information on hosting a Taverna Server to run Taverna workflows, see the [Server](/documentation/server) Section. |
| |
| - **Host a Service.** For information on writing web services to be used in Taverna, see our [Web Service Developers](/documentation/web-service-developers) Section. We recommend that your services are registered in Registries such as: [BioCatalogue](http://www.biocatalogue.org) |
| |
| - **Edit the website.** This website is always under development. Please help make it better by [editing](/community/edit) or adding pages. |

| ## Incubator status |
| |
| * [Taverna incubator status](http://incubator.apache.org/projects/taverna.html). |
| * [Graduation Maturity Assessment](https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/TAVERNADEV/2016-03+Taverna+Graduation+Maturity+Assessment) |
| |
| Apache Taverna is an effort undergoing incubation at |
| [The Apache Software Foundation (ASF)](http://apache.org/) |
| sponsored by the [Apache Incubator PMC](http://incubator.apache.org/). |
| Incubation is required of all newly accepted projects until a further review |
| indicates that the infrastructure, communications, and decision making process |
| have stabilized in a manner consistent with other successful ASF projects. |
| While [incubation status](http://incubator.apache.org/projects/taverna.html) |
| is not necessarily a reflection of the completeness or |
| stability of the code, it does indicate that the project has yet to be fully |
| endorsed by the ASF. |
