# Contributing to Maybe

It means so much that you're interested in contributing to Maybe! Seriously. Thank you. The entire community benefits from these contributions!

## House Rules

- Before contributing, please check if it already exists in [issues](https://github.com/maybe-finance/maybe/issues) or [PRs](https://github.com/maybe-finance/maybe/pulls)
- Given the speed at which we're moving on the codebase, we don't assign issues or "give" issues to anyone.
- When multiple PRs are submitted for the same issue, we take the one that most succinctly & efficiently solves a given problem and stays within the scope of work.
- Priority is generally given to previous committers as they've proven familiarity with the codebase and product.

## What should I contribute?

As we are still in the early days of this project, we recommend [heading over to the Wiki](https://github.com/maybe-finance/maybe/wiki) to get a better idea of _what_ to contribute.

In general, _full features_ that get us closer to [our Vision](https://github.com/maybe-finance/maybe/wiki/Vision) are the most valuable contributions at this stage.
