We encourage bug fixes and enhancements submitted by the community and there are a number of ways you can contribute towards this repository.
The first step is to head to our repository issues tab and decide how you would like to contribute.
If you would like to contribute bug fixes or make the team aware of bugs you have identified in the project, please raise a Bug report issue in the issues section section. A template is provided that will allow you to provide your suggestions for your bug report / bug fix(es) which will be reviewed by the team who will communicate with you through your issue.
Bug fix issues are the first step to creating a pull request for bug fixes, once you have created your issue and it has been approved you can proceed with your bug fixes.
If you would like to suggest a new feature/ new features for this project, please raise a Feature request issue in the issues section section.

Feature proposals are the first step to creating a pull request for new features, once you have created your issue and it has been approved you can proceed with your feature proposal.
If you are going to be contributing code or documentation to the repository you will need to make a fork of the current development branch. The current development branch will always be the highest branch or master. Once you have created a fork of the repository, you will be able to clone the repository to a location on your development machine using terminal and Git or Github Desktop if using Windows.
We have two main types of repository layouts: single projects and multiple project repositories.
In a multiple project repository the file structure for AI projects is as follows:
- Project Root (Directory)
- Project README (File)
- Projects (Directory)
- Project 1 (Directory)
- Classes (Directory)
- Helpers (File)
- Data (File)
- Model (File)
- Documentation (Directory)
- Installation
- Logs (Directory)
- Logfiles
- Media
- Images (Directory)
- Videos (Directory)
- Model
- Model (File)
- Weights (File)
- Scripts

In a single project repository the file structure for AI projects is as follows:
- Project Root (Directory)
- Classes (Directory)
- Helpers (File)
- Data (File)
- Model (File)
- Documentation (Directory)
- Installation
- Logs (Directory)
- Logfiles
- Media
- Images (Directory)
- Videos (Directory)
- Model
- Model (File)
- Weights (File)
- Scripts
- Installation (File)
- Project README (File)
All projects should have documentation, changes you make to the code in the repository or new projects that you make should also have documentation. In the structures above you can see the Documentation directories, and the Installation file. This installation file should contain a step by step guide to how to install your project, while directions of use will be a high level tutorial in your project README. If you are contributing an existing repository you will ensure that these documents are updated to reflect your changes.
You will notice the Scripts directory above, this is home to any scripts that make it easier for the end use to set up and / or use your project. By default every project must have an installation script when installations are required. If you are contributing an existing repository you will ensure that these scripts are updated to reflect your changes.
We use CamelCase for our directory and file names (except images), we would like this to stay uniform across all of our projects. Please use descriptive but short names where possible, and make sure you do not use spaces in directory and file names.
Whenever relevant you should add yourself to the contributors section of the READMEs. If you have a public profile on the Peter Moss Leukemia AI Research website, you should use this in your link. Please see the contributing section of any of our READMEs for examples.
Each .md file in the repository should use the same header. An example of this is as follows:
# Peter Moss COVID-19 AI Research Project
## COVID-19 AI Data Analysis
[](https://github.com/COVID-19-AI-Research-Project/COVID19-AI-Data-Analysis)
Each .md file in the repository should also use the same footer, with the excpetions of the contributors. If you contribute directly to the code or documentation you should update this area with your details.
