Community

Magellon is developed openly. There are a few places to plug in depending on what you need.

Source Code The full Magellon repository on GitHub — issues, pull requests, releases.

Discussion Group Connect with other Magellon users and developers.

CryoSift Companion tool for cryo-EM data triage from the same group.

Getting help

• Bug or feature request? Open an issue on GitHub.
• General question? Post in the discussion group so the answer helps the next person too.

Security report

Please do not file a public GitHub issue for security vulnerabilities. Email the maintainers directly so the issue can be assessed and patched before public disclosure.

Contributing

Pull requests are welcome — small fixes, documentation tweaks, and new plugins all land through the same flow:

1. Fork the repo and create a topic branch.
2. Make your change with tests where applicable.
3. Open a PR against main describing what changed and why.

For a new plugin, see the Plugins guide — the framework handles discovery, schema exposure, and progress streaming, so most of the work is the science itself.

First-time contributor

Start with the magellon-sample-plugin in the hub catalog — it’s a minimal worked example designed for forking. The full authoring walkthrough is in Plugin authoring.
