Contributing to API

To contribute to the Fuchsia API Surface, do the following:

• Evaluate whether your change is large or small.

  • If you have a small, incremental change to the API, contribute your change by completing the steps in Create a change in Gerrit, as you would for any Fuchsia source code change.

  • If you have a large change to the API, that is, a change that significantly expands on the function of the API or modifies the API extensively, do the following:

    • Create an RFC that explains the design of your modification to the API.
    • This RFC should be reviewed through the normal RFC process. The API reviewer for the relevant area should be a stakeholder in the RFC. See the Fuchsia API Council Charter to identify API reviewers.
    • After your API RFC is approved, contribute your change by completing the steps in Create a change in Gerrit, as you would for any Fuchsia source code change.

• Request a code review from an API council member. Select your API council reviewer based on the area of the Fuchsia API that you're modifying. For a list of API council members and their areas of focus, see Membership in the Fuchsia API Council Charter.
