Please be aware that we can't merge any unsolicited PRs that contain changes to usage, including additional methods or options. With this project, we're trying really hard to keep things consistent between individual methods, and that means being vigilant about the effect of any usage change in the grand scheme of the library.
Please observe the guidelines and conventions laid out in the Sails project contribution guide when opening issues or submitting pull requests.
First, please check out the relevant documentation. If you have further questions or are having trouble, click here.

We'd like to hear it! The best way to share your ideas is to contribute (see below).
We are constantly looking for ways to improve this library. If we're missing something you need from a particular pack, tweet at @sailsjs to explain your use case and we'll see what we can do. If you're in a hurry, just look up the repo for the package in question from the list below, then create a fork.
Each package in the standard library lives in its own repository:
The CHANGELOG.md file in this repo contains a record of usage changes for all of the packs in the standard library (in other words, any minor or major version bumps to the dependencies listed in the package.json file). This makes the changelog more accurate and easier to update, since it saves contributors from having to maintain individual changelogs in at least 20 different repos.
Dependency versions are pinned, and all releases of sails-stdlib are carefully tested to ensure strict semantic versioning.
You can install and use any of the packages in this repo individually. Just require the machinepack directly.
Tests for each package are implemented in its repo.
The roadmap for this library is flexible and we're open to ideas. The important thing is that we remain relentlessly focused on stability and versatility, while keeping the library relatively lightweight and the usage intuitive. Secondary to that, most of the immediate-term improvements we're interested in making are related to performance.
Awesome! Tweet @sailsjs and let us know the minimum # of hours per week you'll be able to commit, and someone from the core team will contact you ASAP.
This package, like the Sails framework, is free and open-source under the MIT License.
