How to Contribute

Overview

Our modules have been migrated to git, thanks to the great git toolchain.
In the past we were using a centralized repository only, SVN, and you really needed access to a central repository.

Chose a media to offer your branch to the module maintainer. This may be via

• email
• http
• git

Surely it's most easy for us to access your git repository via the git protocol you may host on a free git server like [github].

Just create a branch of your own and make it available, then you may ask the module maintainer to pull, review and merge your branch.
Collaboration using a distributed SCM is easy.

Steps

• fork a SCM repository
• do with it as you please while obeying the modules license and the law.
• tell us about the earth shaking improvements you made via the mailinglists/forum and contact the module maintainer
• if everything works fine we will probably integrate it soon, if
  • you include a a junit test reflecting your changes / feature
  • you comply with the module's license and contribute under it's terms
  • we can somehow verify your identity, at least you use your full name in your git commits

For more details, see these instructions on how to contribute a new feature or fix.
