Contributing to Grafana
Jumping into Grafana can be daunting, but there are plenty of ways to contribute. Creating and chiming in on issues is a great way to let you voice be heard and shape feature development.
Then it’s time to start contributing code. Unless you’re a seasoned pro, it may be a bit scary at first, but you are in good hands. The Grafana team is an approachable bunch and we love help.
