# Contributing to Backbone Message Formats
_Last updated: 01 Dec 2022_
<br/>
Guidelines for our project partners to collaborate in this workspace specifically for message formats that interact with each partner's software components and the Communications Backbone.
<br/><br/>
## Where To Find A Brief on Message Formats
Please refer to the [**README.md**](https://git.noc.ac.uk/communications-backbone-system/backbone-message-format/-/blob/master/README.md) file that summarises the `message types` and `message flows`.
> _Info: [Quick Links](#quick-links) might be helpful too!_
<br/>
## Commenting
A great way to collaborate and refine the message formats is by commenting on the schema definitions/examples (within the code itself) or on an `issue` card.
### **Commenting on Code**
Go to [`Merge Requests`](https://git.noc.ac.uk/communications-backbone-system/backbone-message-format/-/merge_requests), add your comment and click `Add comment now`. Be sure to **tag partners** who should response. **Use `@`** followed by the **partner's username** or **tag a partner's** organisation by **adding a label**.
P.S. The initial working branch is [`create-initial-message-formats`](https://git.noc.ac.uk/communications-backbone-system/backbone-message-format/-/merge_requests/2/diffs).
**But _HOW_ Do I Add A Comment?**
> A. To **comment directly on the** [**`master` branch**](https://git.noc.ac.uk/communications-backbone-system/backbone-message-format/-/tree/master) directly, hover over the left column that shows the line numbers, and click on the **paperclip icon**. This copies the specific line of code. You can then proceed to pasting this link into a new issue as per [Raising New Ideas or Questions](#raising-new-ideas-or-questions).
> B. To **comment on a Merge Request**, hover over the left column that shows the line numbers, and click on the _paperclip_ or _comment bubble_ icon. This copies the line of code. You can then proceed to pasting this link into a new issue as per [Raising New Ideas or Questions](#raising-new-ideas-or-questions).
<br/>
### **Commenting on Issue Cards**
Go to the [issue](https://git.noc.ac.uk/communications-backbone-system/backbone-message-format/-/issues), scroll to the bottom of the page and add your comment. Once done, click on `Comment`.
<br/><br/>
## Raising New Ideas or Questions
If you have an idea or a question for our collaborators, it's simple! [`Create a new issue`](https://git.noc.ac.uk/communications-backbone-system/backbone-message-format/-/issues/new?issue), assign a person to respond/take action under `Assignee`, and add a partner under `Labels` .
<br/><br/>
## Labels Summary
To add/edit labels, go to [manage labels](https://git.noc.ac.uk/communications-backbone-system/backbone-message-format/-/labels).
| Category | Labels Available | Description |
| -------- | ---------------------------------------------------------- | ----------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| Project | `SoAR` | Associated project |
| Partner | `Planet Ocean`, `Hydro-Surv`, `NOC`, `RHU` | Associated partner |
| Asset | `ah1`, `ecosub`, `reav`, `autonomy engine` | Associated vehicle |
| Status | `In Sprint Backlog`, `In Progress`, `In Review`, `BLOCKED` | Status of resolving issue |
| Weight | `0`, `1`, `2`, `3`, `5`, `8` | Complexity of issue (0 - quick task and 8 - full 2 weeks worth of work) |
| - | `bug`, `feature` | Type of issue i.e. new feature, bug |

# Overview
This project repository is a collaborative workspace. It consists of all messages transferred into and out of the Communications Backbone. Message type schemas will be developed once reviewing each vehicle's data and statuses defined by each partner.
