# Contributing

These pages are for people changing Galleon itself, not using it.

- [Repository layout](/docs/contributing/layout): the modules, what each package is for, and what may import what.
- [Testing](/docs/contributing/testing): running the tests, the harness, the databases and the conformance suites.
- [Writing the docs](/docs/contributing/docs): where a page goes, how decisions and lessons reach the docs, and how samples stay correct.

Every significant decision is an [architecture decision record](/docs/decisions). Read the ones near your change before you start, and add one when you make a decision of your own.
