Contribute to the CcpNmr project

We welcome and encourage contributions to the CcpNmr Analysis project from everyone in the NMR community. Examples of contributions are: 

Bug fixing:

  • If you spotted bugs which we weren’t aware of, and you have a solution

Development:

  • Macros
    If you have a script that you want to include as part of the built-in CcpNmr macros
  • Create a new plugin
    If you have a small program that you want to share with a larger community but don’t have resources for creating your own software-suite
  • Add to the source-code
    If you want to add a new feature to the current framework

Documentation:

  • You have a custom workflow for your analysis, and you want to share as a new tutorial (source-code access not required)

If you want to contribute to the project as a developer with access to the source code, please follow these steps:

  • Send us a developer-access request to support@ccpn.ac.uk, including a short description of your proposed work
  • Wait for our review to avoid any duplicated code, we will then send you some installation scrips
  • Create an account on Bitbucket
  • Download and install PyCharm Community
  • (if needed, follow some tutorials on PyCharm and GitHub procedures)
  • Run the CcpNmr installation scripts we have provided
  • Create a fork of the project
  • Make changes to your copy of the original project, commit and push them
  • When you are ready to share your changes, rebase your fork on the latest branch in the original project
  • Create a pull request to suggest your changes to the original project.

Macros can also be sent to us directly at support@ccpn.ac.uk.
