## The Contribution Workflow

**TL;DR**: Feature requests, product/design/architecture proposals, and other non-trivial ideas
start in [GitHub Discussions](https://github.com/lfnovo/open-notebook/discussions/new?category=ideas).
Reproducible bugs start in Issues. Coding starts from an approved and assigned Issue. Small obvious
fixes (typos, docs, tiny bugs) can still go straight to a PR.

This prevents wasted effort and ensures your work aligns with the project. [See details →](docs/7-DEVELOPMENT/contributing.md)
