Table of contents

Do I need to be assigned before I start?

Usually yes. If you start work before approval, you risk duplicating effort or working against a different expected scope.

What counts as “done”?

Typically: your Pull Request matches the task requirements, passes automated checks (if any), and is accepted by the maintainer.

When do I get paid?

Payment is released after acceptance according to the project’s workflow. See payments.

What if I get stuck?

Share what you tried, what you observed, and ask specific questions on the issue/PR.
