How to Contribute

Contribute lessons or content

We encourage you to contribute to this resources site! One place you could easily contribute is by adding to our Vocabulary and Acronyms page. The page lists some of the terms encountered during the tutorials. Enrich this vocabulary by contributing to it so that it is up to date and useful for you!

You can add more terms to the Vocabulary and Acronyms page (or add resources to other pages) by submitting a pull request to the GitHub project repository that contains the material for this website, as described in the steps below.
