Things you need to follow

Welcome! We’re glad you’re interested in contributing to the CHAOSS Community designs. Before contributing, please review the following values:

Be Ambitious - We appreciate to test new boundaries and take advantage of new design solutions. You should prefer to work with a genuine sense of continuously improving and striving to be the best that can be.

Be Minimalist - We make sure that our designs are simple and straight forward which gives a better meaning to the design problem.

Be Inclusive - You should keep the user first in mind. Thinking inclusively is about considering diverse groups of people, how they will interact with your design problem, and their environments.

Be Respectful - We value the designer's efforts. So you should be respectful towards the community or the user you are interacting with in order to have proper feedback on your design solution.

Be Consistent - The consistency helps us to maintain the momentum of the project and the improvements within the community designs.
