Nimoy is an open source project and welcomes contributions of any kind - bug reports, feature requests, documentation improvements and code.

Bug Reports

If you think you've found a bug in Nimoy, first make sure that you are using the latest version. We also suggest searching for a similar report in the project's open GitHub issues.

Bug reports in form of actual test cases are best as they provide the quickest path to reproduction.
