this is for work coordination.
[Join the LAION Discord Server!](https://discord.com/invite/mVcgxMPD7e), it has
a dedicated channel and is more public.

### Taking on Tasks
We have a growing task list
[of issues](https://github.com/LAION-AI/Open-Assistant/issues). Find an issue
that appeals to you and make a comment that you'd like to work on it. Include in
your comment a brief description of how you'll solve the problem and if there
are any open questions you want to discuss. Once a project coordinator has
assigned the issue to you, start working on it.
If the issue is currently unclear but you are interested, please post in Discord
and someone can help clarify the issue with more detail.
**Always Welcome:** Documentation markdowns in `docs/`, docstrings, diagrams of
the system architecture, and other documentation.
### Submitting Work
We're all working on different parts of Open Assistant together. To make
contributions smoothly we recommend the following:
1. [Fork this project repository](https://docs.github.com/en/get-started/quickstart/fork-a-repo)
and clone it to your local machine. (Read more
[About Forks](https://docs.github.com/en/pull-requests/collaborating-with-pull-requests/working-with-forks/about-forks))
1. Before working on any changes, try to
[sync the forked repository](https://docs.github.com/en/pull-requests/collaborating-with-pull-requests/working-with-forks/syncing-a-fork)
to keep it up-to-date with the upstream repository.
1. Work on a small focused change that only touches on a few files.
1. Run `pre-commit` and make sure all files have formatting fixed. This
simplifies life for reviewers.
1. Package up a small bit of work that solves part of the problem
[into a Pull Request](https://docs.github.com/en/pull-requests/collaborating-with-pull-requests/proposing-changes-to-your-work-with-pull-requests/creating-a-pull-request-from-a-fork)
and
[send it out for review](https://docs.github.com/en/pull-requests/collaborating-with-pull-requests/proposing-changes-to-your-work-with-pull-requests/requesting-a-pull-request-review).
1. If you're lucky, we can merge your change into `main` without any problems.
If there's changes to files you're working on, resolve them by:
1. First try rebase as suggested
[in these instructions](https://timwise.co.uk/2019/10/14/merge-vs-rebase/#should-you-rebase).
1. If rebase feels too painful, merge as suggested
[in these instructions](https://timwise.co.uk/2019/10/14/merge-vs-rebase/#should-you-merge).
1. Once you've resolved any conflicts, finish the review and merge into `main`.
1. Merge in your change and move onto a new issue or the second step of your
current issue.
Additionally, if someone is working on an issue that interests you, ask if they
need help on it or would like suggestions on how to approach the issue. If so,
share wildly. If they seem to have a good handle on it, let them work on their
solution until a challenge comes up.
### When does a review finish
A review finishes when all blocking comments are addressed and at least one
owning reviewer has approved the PR. Be sure to acknowledge any non-blocking
comments either by making the request change, explaining why it's not being
addressed now, or filing an issue to handle it later.
## Developer Setup
Work is organized in the
[project board](https://github.com/orgs/LAION-AI/projects/3).
**Anything that is in the `Todo` column and not assigned, is up for grabs.
Meaning we'd be happy for anyone to do these tasks.**
If you want to work on something, assign yourself to it or write a comment that
you want to work on it and what you plan to do.
- To get started with development, if you want to work on the backend, have a
look at `scripts/backend-development/README.md`.
- If you want to work on any frontend, have a look at
`scripts/frontend-development/README.md` to make a backend available.
There is also a minimal implementation of a frontend in the `text-frontend`
folder.
We are using Python 3.10 for the backend.

### Website
The website is built using Next.js and is in the `website` folder.
### Pre-commit
Install `pre-commit` and run `pre-commit install` to install the pre-commit
hooks.
In case you haven't done this, have already committed, and CI is failing, you
can run `pre-commit run --all-files` to run the pre-commit hooks on all files.
### Deployment
Upon making a release on GitHub, all docker images are automatically built and
pushed to ghcr.io. The docker images are tagged with the release version, and
the `latest` tag. Further, the ansible playbook in `ansible/dev.yaml` is run to
automatically deploy the built release to the dev machine.
