Contributing to 4D-Bio

Corrections and new ideas are both welcome. Here is how you can help.

• Community discussions: join the conversation on our Discussions page.
• Reporting issues: if you found something wrong, open an issue and let us know.
• Proposing edits: click the edit pencil icon on any page. It takes you to GitHub's web editor; when you save, you open a pull request.

How to participate in the discussions

The Discussions page has two sections: the community forum and the general-purpose section. The community forum exists to become a shared knowledge base, so that informal conversations and individual actions reach more people. Sharing your experience there helps others more than you might expect.

• AI Errors Archive: document cases where AI failed and how you caught the mistake.
• Future of Bioinformatics: share what you do and do not want the future of AI-augmented bioinformatics to look like.
• Model Feedback: share how the practice model helped you build or improve something, such as a workshop or a course curriculum.

How to contribute to the practice model

To propose edits to the practice model directly:

1. Fork the repo, or click the edit pencil in your browser.
2. Make your changes in a new branch.
3. Open a pull request against the main branch.
4. Wait for review. A maintainer checks your changes for accuracy and fit with the practice model.
5. Get credited. Once merged, the all-contributors bot adds your profile to our contributors page.

For maintainers

The contributors page is kept up to date by the all-contributors bot. To credit someone, comment @all-contributors please add @username for content, ideas on any issue or pull request. The full workflow, contribution types, and fallback steps are in the maintainer guide.
