Contributing to TiddlyWiki5

TiddlyWiki5 welcomes contributions to its code and documentation via GitHub. 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:

Pull Requests

Like other OpenSource projects, TiddlyWiki5 needs a signed ContributorLicenseAgreement from individual contributors before contributions of code can be accepted.

How to sign the CLA

git clone https://github.com/Jermolene/TiddlyWiki5.git TiddlyWiki5
cd TiddlyWiki5
git checkout -b sign-cla

Add your name and the date to cla-individual.md or cla-entity.md. Date format (YYYY/MM/DD) eg: Jermy Ruston - 2011/11/22

git add .
git commit -m "sign contributor license agreement"
git push origin sign-cla

Go to your github repo and create a pull request.

Remark for Alpha and Beta Sontributors

This is the first CLA, TiddlyWiki uses. So if we did miss something important, please let us know. If we make essential changes to the CLA, all contributors will need to sign it again. So we should get it right as soon as possible.

Thank you!
