Following these guidelines helps to communicate that you respect the time of the developers managing and developing this open source project. In return, they should reciprocate that respect in addressing your issue, assessing changes, and helping you finalize your pull requests.
This module is an open source project and we love to receive contributions from our community — you! There are many ways to contribute, from writing tutorials in google Classroom, improving the documentation, submitting bug reports and feature requests or writing code which can be incorporated into the module itself.
Sepal modules are of course meant to work on the sepal plateform so you should use the same requirements as we use on the prod platform if you work locally. But of course the easyest way is to work directly from Sepal !
don't forget to use the

If you find yourself wishing for a feature that doesn't exist in this module, you are probably not alone. There are bound to be others out there with similar needs. Many of the features that the module provide today have been added because our users saw the need. Open an issue on our issues list on GitHub which describes the feature you would like to see, why you need it, and how it should work.
As a contributor you can also send PR (pull request) to solve issues tagged as "help wanted" or small correction (typo, documentation improvement, examples). For bigger contributions or new fonctionnalities please open an issue and discuss with our team before sending PR.
