TiddlyWiki5 welcomes contributions to its code and documentation [[via GitHub|https://github.com/Jermolene/TiddlyWiki5]]. Please take a moment to read these notes to help make the process as smooth as possible.

! Bug Reports

From a programmers perspective, a bug report that just says "it doesn't work" is highly frustrating. For effective debugging, we need as much information as possible. At a minimum, please ensure that you include:

* A descriptive title
* A summary
* Steps to reproduce
* Expected behaviour
* Context (OS, browser etc.)

There's a lot of good material on the web about bug reports:
