Getting in Touch

The community at conda-forge would be happy to connect with you. We have got several ways for you to communicate with us, primarily through issue trackers, mailing lists, and real-time chat.

Issue Trackers​

The main issue trackers that you will interact with are

  • staged-recipes: You'll use staged-recipes to create a new conda package on conda-forge
  • Our main website repo: You'll use this repo as a catch-all for issues where you're not sure where else to put them
  • Our enhancement proposals repo: You'll use the enhancement proposals repo if you're interested in substantially changing the way conda-forge operates.
