# How to contribute
## Community
You can ask questions -- or answer them! -- following the links on the [Community](community.md) page.
## Documentation improvements
Pre-release Miller documentation is at [https://github.com/johnkerl/miller/tree/main/docs](https://github.com/johnkerl/miller/tree/main/docs).
Instructions for modifying, viewing, and submitting PRs for these are in the [docs/README.md](https://github.com/johnkerl/miller/blob/main/docs/README.md).
Once PRs are merged, readthedocs creates [https://miller.readthedocs.io](https://miller.readthedocs.io) using the following configs:
* [https://readthedocs.org/projects/miller](https://readthedocs.org/projects/miller)
* [https://readthedocs.org/projects/miller/builds](https://readthedocs.org/projects/miller/builds)
* [https://github.com/johnkerl/miller/settings/hooks](https://github.com/johnkerl/miller/settings/hooks)
## Testing
As of Miller-6's current pre-release status, the best way to test is to either build from source via [Building from source](build.md), or by getting a recent binary at [https://github.com/johnkerl/miller/actions](https://github.com/johnkerl/miller/actions), then click latest build, then *Artifacts*. Then simply use Miller for whatever you do, and create an issue at [https://github.com/johnkerl/miller/issues](https://github.com/johnkerl/miller/issues).
## Feature development
Issues: [https://github.com/johnkerl/miller/issues](https://github.com/johnkerl/miller/issues)
Developer notes: [https://github.com/johnkerl/miller/blob/main/README-go-port.md](https://github.com/johnkerl/miller/blob/main/README-go-port.md)
PRs which pass regression test ([https://github.com/johnkerl/miller/blob/main/test/README.md](https://github.com/johnkerl/miller/blob/main/test/README.md)) are always welcome!
## Build script
Much of Miller's documentation is autogenerated from code. With the `miller/go`
directory in your `$PATH` (so it will find the modified `mlr` executable if
you've modified any source code), please do `make dev` in the Miller base
directory. This runs source build, unit test, regression test, manual-page
autogen, document autogen, and document static-build all in the correct order.
