Contributing to paid plugins

[sboettcher]

Hi Kevin!

Sorry if this is obvious and i missed it somewhere, but how do we contribute to the paid plugins? Since the code is obviously not public, there is no direct way to open pull requests. I assume you have these versioned privately?

We have been using Kimai since the start of the year and it has worked really well, but we have recently started to add a couple of small-ish features to the base repo and also some of the plugins (Kiosk and WorkContract for now), and I wonder if we can get these (or at least some of them) included upstream. For the base repo I will be opening pull requests at some point (I still need to do the contribution guidelines first), but for the plugins, I have versioned the changes in commits based on the source we downloaded from https://license.kimai.org/, but nowhere to put them.

Thank you so much for Kimai!

Best,
Sebastian

Hm, good question. Either patches or .. . in case of AI, the LLM prompts / specification that you used.
You could also send me a full ZIP file of the plugin.
But I need an explanation what this change is all about.
And I need a statement from the company, that the code is shared under a fully free license like MIT, otherwise I have to reject it anyway.

Hi Kevin, of course if we share code that is meant to be used freely under MIT license or the like, also if this is a paid plugin which you or others sell.

Should we prepare a proper signed PDF or is it sufficient to just state this here or together with the patches?
