Contributing

If you’re interested in joining the community to build a better SQL, here are ways to start:

• 星標收藏儲存庫。
• Send a link to PRQL to a couple of people whose opinion you respect.
• Subscribe to new releases for updates.
• 在 Twitter 上關注我們。
• 加入我們的 Discord。
• Find an issue labeled Good First Issue and start contributing to the code.
• Join our fortnightly Developer Call; (iCal file).

PRQL is evolving from a project with lots of excitement into a project that folks are using in their work and integrating into their tools. We’re actively looking for collaborators to lead that growth with us.

Areas for larger contributions

編譯器

The compiler is written in Rust, and there’s enough to do such that any level of experience with Rust is sufficient.

We try to keep a few onboarding issues on hand under the “good first issue” label. These have been screened to have sufficient context to get started (and we very much welcome questions where there’s some context missing).

To get started, check out the docs on Development and the Compiler architecture

And if you have questions, there are lots of friendly people on the Discord who will patiently help you.

Bindings & integrations

For PRQL to be successful, it needs to be available for the languages & tools that people already use.

• We currently have bindings to the PRQL compiler in a few different languages; many of these can be improved, documented, and packaged in a better way.
• If you have experience with packaging in an ecosystem that doesn’t currently have bindings, then creating PRQL bindings for that language we don’t currently support would be valuable to the project.
• If there’s a tool that you use yourself to run data queries which you think would benefit from a PRQL integration, suggest one to us or the tool. If it’s open-source, build & share a prototype.

Relevant issues are labeled Integrations.

語言設計

We decide on new language features in GitHub issues, usually under “language design” label.

You can also contribute by:

• Finding instances where the compiler produces incorrect results, and post a bug report — feel free to use the playground.
• Opening an issue / append to an existing issue with examples of queries that are difficult to express in PRQL — especially if more difficult than SQL.

提供充足的範例來建議語言變更！（由於沒有範例的建議很難進行討論，因此請務必將建議建立在具體範例之上。）

Marketing

• Improve our website. We have a few issues open on this front and are looking for anyone with at least some design skills.
• Contribute towards the docs. Anything from shaping a whole section of the docs, to simply improving a confusing paragraph or fixing a typo.
• Tell people about PRQL.
• Find a group of users who would be interested in PRQL, help them get up to speed, help the project understand what they need.
