The Hop Orchestration Platform aims to facilitate all aspects of data and metadata orchestration.

Hop is work in progress. After building, the UI can be started, but a lot of things may be broken.

There are various things you can do to help Hop moving forward as fast as possible:

• log bugs, request features in the Hop JIRA
• asking questions to the mailing list or mattermost
• help with documentation (lot of opportunities)
• help fixing some sonar issues

Check our Contribution Guide and the Hop website for more information on how to contribute.
