We welcome any contribution that you are willing to provide whether it be in the form of syntax suggestions, feature requests, documentation help, or simply pointing out our tyops typos. All that we ask is that you agree to the following contributor agreement and follow a few guidelines.

WDL is the bioinformatics workflow language meant to be written and read by humans. In order to achieve this goal we rely on actual humans to help keep us on the right course. Fellow WDL enthusiasts debate the finer points of syntax over in the WDL developers forum and everyone is invited to participate. You'll need to register yourself to participate in the forum.
As WDL increases in popularity, a number of people are building tools to make it easier to interact with WDL or platforms that support it. If you've created something which you think would be useful we'd love to hear about it! We can help you help us help everyone.
