Can I get help from the open source projects community and still take credit for completing a task?
Absolutely! We want you to get to know each project’s community members and to understand their processes and requirements. It’s totally fine to ask for help if you’re stuck, but remember that you should have already tried to solve the problem yourself before getting assistance. To put it a different way, you’ve taken responsibility for accomplishing something, so it’s perfectly acceptable to get it done in a collaborative fashion – that’s how open source works!
