Contribute to OpenDI: Become the Future of Decision Intelligence

Join a global community building the foundation for Decision Intelligence standards. Your expertise matters.

We're Glad You're Here

OpenDI thrives because of contributors like you. This is more than an open-source project—it's a movement to standardize Decision Intelligence practices across industries and disciplines. Whether you're a seasoned developer, a DI practitioner, or someone passionate about structured decision-making, your perspective adds value.

Every contribution matters. Feedback helps us identify blind spots. Bug reports improve stability. Feature proposals push boundaries. Documentation edits enhance clarity. Code contributions build functionality. Together, we're creating resources that will shape how organizations make decisions for years to come.

Join us on Discord — the heart of our community where ideas flow, questions get answered, and collaboration happens in real-time.

Contributor's Guide

1. Provide Feedback

Discord (General Discussion)

Discord is ideal for broad feedback, conceptual questions, and connecting with Decision Intelligence experts across disciplines. It's where community happens—real-time conversations, collaborative problem-solving, and relationship building.

Discord uses forum channels for organized, threaded discussions that remain searchable and accessible.

  1. Select "I would like to contribute to OpenDI standards"
  1. Accept server rules to gain full access
  1. Navigate to the Ecosystem Resources channel group
  1. Select a forum channel and click New Post to share your feedback

GitHub Issues (Specific Feedback)

GitHub Issues provide structure for actionable items. Use this channel for bug reports, feature requests, documentation improvements, or specific technical suggestions that require tracking and resolution.

Submission Steps:

  1. Navigate to the relevant repository's Issues page (GitHub link appears at the top-right of any documentation page)
  1. Search existing issues thoroughly to avoid creating duplicates
  1. Click New Issue and select the most appropriate template
  1. Write a succinct, descriptive title that summarizes the issue
  1. Provide detailed context, steps to reproduce (for bugs), or rationale (for features)
  1. Submit to the most relevant repository based on the issue scope

GitHub Contributor Guidelines

Be Direct & Descriptive

Clear, concise issue descriptions accelerate resolution. Include relevant context without unnecessary detail.

Use Appropriate Templates

Templates ensure you provide necessary information. Unlabeled issues take significantly longer to process.

Submit to Correct Repository

Issues filed in the wrong repo create confusion and delays. Take a moment to verify the best location.

2. Direct Code Contributions

Ready to contribute code, documentation improvements, or configuration changes? OpenDI follows standard GitHub collaboration workflows that make contributing straightforward for developers of all experience levels.

The standard workflow follows the fork → edit → pull request pattern familiar to GitHub users. Fork the repository, make your changes in your copy, then submit a pull request for review and integration.

Versions & Documentation

OpenDI maintains versioned releases for technical standards and documentation websites to ensure stability while enabling continuous improvement. The documentation sites default to the latest stable release, ensuring most visitors see thoroughly tested, production-ready content. However, multiple versions remain accessible for contributors, developers, and users with specific needs.
