  • The OSCAL Github repository is the primary source for the NIST OSCAL project, containing the OSCAL models, schemas, documentation, examples, and development resources. It is the central collaboration platform where the community can report issues, contribute code, and track project development. The repository supports the ongoing evolution of OSCAL through open-source collaboration and public participation.
  • The OSCAL Content Repository provides a library of machine-readable OSCAL content, including catalogs, profiles, baselines, and example artifacts in XML, JSON, and YAML formats. It serves as a reference source for implementers to build, test, and validate OSCAL-based tools and workflows. The repository is maintained alongside the core OSCAL project and is updated with the latest OSCAL releases.

OSCAL Lobby on Gitter (STRONGLY RECOMMENDED) : https://gitter.im/usnistgov-OSCAL/Lobby

It provides a place where developers, implementers, and users can ask questions, discuss OSCAL development, and collaborate on technical issues in real time. It serves as an informal community support and collaboration forum.
