Hi all,

I have an idea for development that I think should be universally useful to everyone (I know, famous last words). I read the contribution guide, but I am still bit unclear on what the preferred process is for contributing to Ghost.

Is it preferred to open up an issue in the relevant repo and just request that Ghost admins assign it to me or should I just start by forking my own version of the repo and then submit my pull request back to the Ghost master?

Thanks in advance!

Might be a good idea also to run it past the community by creating a proposal in our Ideas category? You can get feel for how well the community would benefit from it. You may even find a thread about the same or similar feature:
