# Contributing to ORLY
Thank you for your interest in contributing to ORLY! This document outlines the process for reporting bugs, requesting features, and submitting contributions.
**Canonical Repository:** https://git.mleku.dev/mleku/next.orly.dev
## Issue Reporting Policy
### Before Opening an Issue
1. **Search existing issues** to avoid duplicates
2. **Check the documentation** in the repository
3. **Verify your version** - run `./orly version` and ensure you're on a recent release
4. **Review the CLAUDE.md** file for configuration guidance
### Bug Reports
Use the **Bug Report** template when reporting unexpected behavior. A good bug report includes:
- **Version information** - exact ORLY version from `./orly version`
- **Database backend** - Badger, Neo4j, or WasmDB
- **Clear description** - what happened vs. what you expected
- **Reproduction steps** - detailed steps to trigger the bug
- **Logs** - relevant log output (use `ORLY_LOG_LEVEL=debug` or `trace`)
- **Configuration** - relevant environment variables (redact secrets)
#### Log Levels for Debugging
```bash
export ORLY_LOG_LEVEL=trace # Most verbose
export ORLY_LOG_LEVEL=debug # Development debugging
export ORLY_LOG_LEVEL=info # Default
```
### Feature Requests
Use the **Feature Request** template when suggesting new functionality. A good feature request includes:
- **Problem statement** - what problem does this solve?
- **Proposed solution** - specific description of desired behavior
- **Alternatives considered** - workarounds you've tried
- **Related NIP** - if this implements a Nostr protocol specification
- **Impact assessment** - is this a minor tweak or major change?
#### Feature Categories
- **Protocol** - NIP implementations and Nostr protocol features
- **Database** - Storage backends, indexing, query optimization
- **Performance** - Caching, SIMD operations, memory optimization
- **Policy** - Access control, event filtering, validation
- **Web UI** - Admin interface improvements
- **Operations** - Deployment, monitoring, systemd integration
