Many changes, including bug fixes and documentation improvements can be implemented and reviewed via the normal GitHub pull request workflow in the [LibrePCB](https://github.com/LibrePCB/LibrePCB) and [librepcb-doc](https://github.com/LibrePCB/librepcb-doc) repositories.

Some changes though are “substantial”, and we ask that these be put through a bit of a design process and produce a consensus among the LibrePCB community. This category is intended to discuss about such changes.

Following things are generally considered as “substantial” changes and thus should be discussed first:

- Introducing large and/or complex features
- Conceptual changes of the library system
- File format changes
- API changes

For bugreports, trivial feature requests, documentation or similar things, you don’t have to start a discussion first. Just open an issue or pull request on the corresponding repository instead.
