Community Contribution

Following the transfer of the PAR stewardship to the OPF the focus has to be to educate and engage the community with the concepts of PAR and in doing so to encourage greater community involvement. Specifically we are looking towards the community to help with:

• Product development - those with Java, REST API and JSON schema development skills would be of particular interest
• Documentation development - production of user guides and release notes

In addition we would particularly welcome contribution from:

• Trusted sources - those that are able to become an integral part of the PAR network by connecting their source registry’s
• DP system vendors - that would be interested in participating in and extending the PAR DP vendor network

How to get Involved

Product and documentation development tasks are contained in the Github repo: https://github.com/openpreserve/par.
