Built in the open, AGPL-3.0

Help build Ciaren

Every node, connector, and doc page is public work. Whether you file one bug or maintain a plugin, you're shaping the tool — here's where everything happens.

Where the project lives

GitHub

The source of truth — code, releases, and the issue tracker.

Discussions

Ask questions, propose features, and share what you're building.

Contributing

How to set up a dev environment, open issues, and land your first PR.

Good first issues

Curated, well-scoped issues labelled for new contributors.

Security policy

How to report vulnerabilities responsibly — privately, never as public issues.

Plugin development

Build nodes, connectors, and exporters with the Apache-2.0 plugin SDK.

Ways to contribute

Code is only one of them

Use it and report back

Run Ciaren on a real dataset and file what breaks or confuses you. This early on, a precise bug report is worth as much as a patch.

Improve the docs

Recipes, screenshots, and clearer explanations help every future user. Docs PRs are the friendliest entry point to the codebase.

Build a plugin

A connector for your favorite data source or a node for your niche — plugins let you extend Ciaren without touching the core.

Shape the roadmap

The direction is decided in the open. Weigh in on discussions, vote on proposals, and make the case for what you need.
