After creating an account, join #new-contributors when you have questions and attempt to do your first contributions. Join #contributors to discuss more in depth contributing to Airflow.

Improve documentation

Additions and improvements to the documentation are always welcome!

Open a PR with your changes.
Feel free to ask any questions you have in the #documentation channel in Slack.

Propose fundamental changes

If you have an idea that will change Airflow fundamentally, then there are more steps to take, but they are rather simple.

Create an Airflow Improvement Proposal (AIP) on the project wiki (Airflow Improvements Proposals), describe your idea, discuss the pros and cons, and explain why Airflow needs such a change.
When your AIP is ready, send it to the Dev list where the whole community will be able to discuss it and collaborate on the final version.
When the community approves your proposal, it is time to start the work! Prepare your change as a single or series of PRs and voilà!

Start a discussion

Use a GitHub Discussion to start a discussion.

You can start discussions about:

proposing a new feature
whether what you are observing is a real issue
your brainstorms
how others solve their problems.

Propose a new feature

Two steps are required to create a feature request in Airflow.

Create an account on GitHub
Create a new issue and choose ‘Feature request’. Try to include as much information as you can in the description.
You are also encouraged to open a PR with your own implementation of the feature. Take a look at our contribution guidelines to learn more about contributing.
