We are committed to providing a friendly, safe and welcoming environment for all. Please read and respect the WHATWG Code of Conduct.

Folks notice minor and larger issues with the MIME Sniffing Standard all the time and we'd love your help fixing those. Pull requests for typographical and grammar errors are also most welcome.

We'd be happy to mentor you through this process. If you're interested and need help getting started, leave a comment on the issue or ask around on IRC.

In short, change mimesniff.bs and submit your patch, with a good commit message. Consider reading through the WHATWG FAQ if you are new here.
