WinRice accepts all kinds of contributions such as finding bugs, fixing bugs, adding features, removal of deprecated features and/or values, etc. I'm excited to work with the users and fellow PowerShell enthusiasts to further improve this project.
I ask that before you start your work on a feature that you would like to request or contribute, please read WinRice principles. I will be happy to work with you to figure out good approaches and provide guidance throughout feature development, and help avoid any wasted or duplicated effort.
