Get Involved

Want to get involved? Here's some ideas for how. If none of these strike your fancy, come chat with us on Discord.

Join a Project

There are many ways to get involved with new and ongoing projects. The easiest is to browse open issues.

Implement a Paper

For many projects, the starting point is the implementation / replication of an existing paper with minor modifications. Check out the list of requested implementations here.

Answer a Request for Plot

A "request for plot," is a way of approaching collaborations on exploratory ideas with minimal friction. The idea is that when one has an idea for a cool experiment, they write up an explanation of what they are thinking and a description of the first plot they'd like to produce investigating the phenomenon. Then someone with more time / the necessary skills / etc. comes and follows the instructions to create the plot, reports back, and you two can discuss the results of the experiment and next steps. Check out the list of requests for plots here.

Request for Plot

Got a cool idea for an experiment, but not sure where it will lead? A "request for plot," is a way of approaching collaborations on exploratory ideas with minimal friction. The idea is that when you have an idea for a cool experiment, you write up an explanation of what you are thinking and a description of the first plot you'd like to produce investigating the phenomenon. Then someone with more time / the necessary skills / etc. comes and follows the instructions to create the plot, reports back, and you two can discuss the results of the experiment and next steps.
