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.
|
|
|
|
!! Coding Style
|
|
|
|
Code contributions should follow the [[TiddlyWiki Coding Style Guidelines]].
|
|
|
|
!! GitHub Issues
|
|
|
|
We use GitHub Issues to manage bug reports, feature requests for TiddlyWiki. To maintain their effectiveness we endeavour to have as few open issues as possible.
|
|
|
|
!!! Policies for Managing Issues
|
|
|
|
Open issues must be actionable: generally either a reproducible bug report, or a specific feature request. From the perspective of the core developers, the issues list behaves like a shared todo list. Every item on the list requires a little bit of attention each time we check the list.
|
|
|
|
GitHub Issues are not very good for managing ideas that are not immediately actionable. Better to use the [[TiddlyWiki discussion groups|Community]] for open ended questions, or speculative discussions of new features.
|
|
|
|
!!! Creating Issues
|
|
|
|
When you do create an issue, remember that for effective debugging, we need as much information as possible. At a minimum, please try to include:
|
|
|
|
* A descriptive title
|
|
* A summary
|
|
* Steps to reproduce
|
|
* Expected behaviour
|
|
* Context (OS, browser etc.)
|
|
|
|
Consider also adding screenshots if it makes things clearer.
|
|
|
|
There's a lot of good material on the web about bug reports:

|

|
|
!! Contributor License Agreement
|
|
|
|
Like other OpenSource projects, TiddlyWiki5 needs a signed contributor license agreement from individual contributors. This is a legal agreement that allows contributors to assert that they own the copyright of their contribution, and that they agree to license it to the UnaMesa Association (the legal entity that owns TiddlyWiki on behalf of the community).
|
|
|
|
* For individuals use: [[licenses/CLA-individual|https://github.com/Jermolene/TiddlyWiki5/tree/master/licenses/cla-individual.md]]
|
|
* For entities use: [[licenses/CLA-entity|https://github.com/Jermolene/TiddlyWiki5/tree/master/licenses/cla-entity.md]]
