Community

Skipper is developed in the open under the Apache 2.0 license. Contributions, questions, and bug reports are all welcome.

Contributing

  • Contribution guide
    Fork the repository, build it, run the test suite, and open a pull request. Start with an issue for anything non-trivial so we can agree on the approach.
  • Good first issues
    Issues labeled good first issue are scoped to be a friendly on-ramp for new contributors.
  • Code of Conduct
    We follow the Contributor Covenant. Be respectful and assume good intent — everyone is here to build something useful.

Get help

  • GitHub Discussions
    Ask questions, share patterns, and see how others model their workflows.
  • Issues
    Report a bug or request a feature. Include a minimal reproduction where you can.
  • Troubleshooting
    Check the troubleshooting guide first — it covers the most common gotchas.

Roadmap

  • Public release & versioning
    Semantic versioning with a binary-compatibility gate on every release.
  • Expanded storage adapters
    More first-class backends behind the pluggable store and scheduler interfaces.
  • Guides & examples
    Growing the documentation and the runnable example set.

License & source

  • Apache License 2.0
    Free to use, modify, and distribute, including commercially.
  • GitHub repository
    Browse the source, file issues, and open pull requests.
Heads up: Skipper is being prepared for its public launch. The repository and community links above will point to the public GitHub project once it is live.
