FLORIS is a community model, and we are excited for community contributions! There are a variety of ways in which you can contribute beyond writing code. This document provides a high-level overview of how you can get involved.
Have a question? Rather than opening an issue directly, please ask questions or post comments in Q&A Discussions. The NREL team or other members of the community will assist. Your well-worded question will serve as a resource to others searching for help.
Your comments and feedback are very welcome. Please post to General Discussions with lots of information and detail. It is beneficial to consider how someone else will understand your comments in order to make them most effective.
Have you identified a reproducible problem in FLORIS? Have a feature request? We want to hear about it! Here's how you can make reporting your issue as effective as possible.
Before you create a new issue, please do a search in open issues to see if the issue or feature request has already been filed.
If you find your issue already exists, make relevant comments and add your reaction. Use a reaction in place of a "+1" comment:
- 👍 - upvote
- 👎 - downvote
If you cannot find an existing issue that describes your bug or feature, create a new issue using the guidelines below.
File a single issue per problem and feature request. Do not enumerate multiple bugs or feature requests in the same issue.
Do not add your issue as a comment to an existing issue unless it's for the identical input. Many issues look similar, but have different causes.
The more information you can provide, the more likely someone will be successful at reproducing the issue and finding a fix.
Please follow the issue template guidelines to include relevant information that will help in diagnosing the problem.
Please remember to do the following:
-
Search the issue repository to ensure your report is a new issue
-
Recreate the issue with a minimally descriptive example
-
Simplify your code around the issue to better isolate the problem
If you are interested in writing code to fix an issue or submit a new feature, let us know in Ideas Discussions!
We rely heavily on git and GitHub, so be sure to review the contributing guidelines in the online documentation.
