The Application Process
- Create an issue in the Backdrop Contrib queue.
- A friendly community member will review your application, looking for the following:
- Did you provide a link to a Backdrop module, theme or layout?
- If so, does it include a README.md file that includes license and maintainer information. (You can use this example.)
- Does it include a LICENSE.txt file that indicates the contributed code is GPL-2.0, or in rare cases GPL-3.0. (Please use this text for GPL-2.0.)
- Does it maintain the Git history from Drupal 7 (see this article)?
- Is there anything we might be able to help out with? -- If so we might offer code suggestions.
- NOTE: It is not necessary that you address any code suggestions before joining the group. These suggestions are only meant to be helpful, and will not be a barrier to entry.
- If not, did you provide at least 2 links to Pull Requests or commits?
- If so, do these changes represent strong collaboration skills?
- If not, did you @-mention someone who will provide a recommendation for you?
- If so, have they responded with the recommendation?
- Did you provide a link to a Backdrop module, theme or layout?
- If all checks out, you will be asked to agree to the Backdrop Contributed Project Agreement.
- You will agree.
- You will be invited to the Backdrop contrib group.
- If you had provided a code sample from your own GitHub account , it will be easy to transfer a repository to the backdrop-contrib GitHub group once you are a member.
Rejected applications:
In the rare case that your application is rejected, you are welcome to reapply after a waiting period of 1 month. Please carefully review the reason for rejection, and after 1 month has passed, please open a new issue in the queue to try again. No rejected application to the Backdrop contrib group is final.
