# Contributing to Baserow

Thank you for your interest in Baserow. This document explains how you can get involved.

## We are not accepting unsolicited pull requests

We've decided to stop accepting unsolicited external pull requests for now. Reviewing external code contributions thoroughly takes significant time, and a growing volume of low-quality, AI-generated PRs has made the process difficult to manage for our small team.

This wasn't an easy decision, and we know it affects well-intentioned contributors. See the [announcement](https://github.com/baserow/baserow/issues/5598) for the full reasoning.

**We will only review pull requests that were coordinated with the team in advance.** PRs opened without prior coordination will be closed without review.

## How you can still contribute

There's a lot you can do that we genuinely value:

- **Report bugs** — open a [bug report](https://github.com/baserow/baserow/issues/new?template=bug.yml) with steps to reproduce and the expected behavior.
- **Request features** — open a [feature request](https://github.com/baserow/baserow/issues/new?template=feature_request.yml) describing what you need and why.
- **Join the discussion** — share ideas, feedback, and use cases in our [community forum](https://community.baserow.io/).

Well-described issues and feedback help us shape the product and are always welcome.

## Want to contribute code?

If you have something specific in mind, contact us first through the [community forum](https://community.baserow.io/) or the contact form at https://baserow.io/contact. If we agree the change makes sense, we'll coordinate the approach with you before any code is written — only then should you open a PR.

Note that the `premium/` and `enterprise/` directories contain licensed code that is not open to external contributions.

## Quality standards

For coordinated contributions, see [Code quality](docs/development/code-quality.md) for our standards, linters, and testing expectations. The CI pipeline must pass and the security impact of every change must be considered.

## License

When you submit code changes, your submissions are understood to be under the same [MIT License](https://choosealicense.com/licenses/mit/) that covers the project.

## Security vulnerabilities

If you find a security vulnerability, please report it privately via email or the contact form at https://baserow.io/contact — do not open a public issue.
