Contribute to Byron

First of all, thank you! 👍

Generally speaking there are several ways to contribute:

* Create/Extend/update/proofread the documentation

Contact Alberto or Giovanni if your English is acceptable and you want to play with documentation generators such as Sphinx. Some of these works could even be considered small dissertations (tesine) in Politecnico di Torino.

* Add a brand new feature
* Improve an existing feature

Contact Alberto or Giovanni if you enjoy playing with Python and Evolutionary Computation, and you are looking for a 6-month master thesis. Start sharpening your favorite IDE.

Note: We are always looking for valuable students, even when there are no theses posted on the official channels.

* Use the tool and report a success story

Let us know if you have published a paper using any version of byron or MicroGP (Byron's predecessor).

Note: Byron's official DOI is not available, yet.

* Fail to use the tool and submit a bug report

We plan to use GitHub's issues for bug reporting.

* Fix a bug

Kudos!

* Draw logo/icons

Byron is still missing a nice logo.

* Donate money

Thanks for trying, but we do not accept monetary donations:

  • Alberto and Giovanni are working on Byron as an integral part of their research activities. Therefore, they are already paid by their institutions, namely: Politecnico di Torino (Italy); INRAE — AgroParisTech (France) and Institut des Systèmes Complexes de Paris Île-de-France (France).
  • Students have worked, are working, and will work on Byron as part of their academic curricula, either for Master's theses or Ph.D. programs.
  • A few volunteers did excellent work on specific topics, but as volunteers they did not ask for payment.
