You may use this guide to make quality contributions at Hacktoberfest 2020: Hacktoberfest 2020 guide
To begin contributing, you shall get a quick overview of how Cosmos is used today. Cosmos is one of the most extensive code database and is used as:
- A datastore for various projects (such as Quark) for purposes such as offline searching
- Training ML models for applications such as identifying programming language
- Metadata for projects such as OpenGenus IQ, Falcon and several others
- Offline Learning resource by several contributors
To get started on your journey of making Cosmos and related OpenGenus projects better, follow the following steps:
- Fork Cosmos to get a local copy as your workspace
- Learn how to make a perfect pull request (guide)
- Make a basic contribution like improving existing implementations, simple bugs (like #5891) and more to get familiar with the flow
- Make quality contributions (more details). This helps you in multiple angles
Some quality contributions:
- Implement new algorithms in language of your choice (Having strong implementation skills is useful)
- Write at OpenGenus IQ on a topic you are confident in or prepare questions on a given topic (Ability to explain ideas is important)
- Write at OpenGenus IQ on a new topic in the domain you are interested in (Approaching new topics correctly is the key to invention)
- Develop features for sister projects of Cosmos (challenging but interesting)
We, strongly, suggest you to you us as an author (apply to be an author or an Intern) and write on topics of your choice. We add this as a metadata to Cosmos (for example: #5830) which makes it complete.
This helps you grow intellectually 🧠 and help you gain good opportunities. Search and ask our Interns how they have grown over the years.
