Contributing to EPICS

EPICS is distributed in nature, and thus source code and issue trackers are kept in many different places. This site combines documentation from more than one of those repositories. Each project and its maintainers set their own contribution policies. Follow the guidelines in the repository you intend to change.

Where to contribute

epics-docs for general EPICS documentation and the top-level structure of this site.
epics-base for EPICS Base source code and version-specific documentation.
The relevant repository or GitHub organization for other EPICS projects.

Pages published from other repositories

Not every page here comes from epics-docs. Pages under docs.epics-controls.org/projects/ are built from their own repositories and published alongside this one.

Check the address of the page you want to change: if it contains /projects/, the change belongs in that project’s repository.

If you are unsure where a change belongs

For problems in the documentation on this site, open an issue in epics-docs.
For general questions, use Tech-talk (tech-talk@aps.anl.gov) or EPICS Chat.
