For this reason, Lean Design System was designed as an open and collaborative project from the get-go. I would like to invite everyone to share their own views and experiences by creating new branches or entirely new forks of the methodology. I will do my best to review all submissions (i.e. pull requests) and integrate them into the main repository as quickly as possible.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter: ``` GET https://docs.leandesignsystem.org/contribute-1/contribute.md?ask=&goal= ``` `ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language. `goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal. The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation. Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
