Contributing Guidelines

Contributions welcome! Please check past issues and pull requests before you open your own issue or pull request to avoid duplicating a frequently asked question.

  • Ideas: participate in an issue thread or start your own to have your voice heard.
  • Writing: contribute your expertise in an area by helping expand the included content.
  • Copy editing: fix typos, clarify language, and generally improve the quality of the content.
  • Formatting: help keep content easy to read with consistent formatting.

Install

Fork and clone the repo, then npm install to install all dependencies.

Testing

Tests are run with npm test. Please ensure all tests are passing before submitting a pull request (unless you're creating a failing test to increase test coverage or show a problem).

Code Style

standard

This repository uses standard to maintain code style and consistency and avoid style arguments. npm test runs standard so you don't have to!

Collaborating Guidelines

This is an OPEN Open Source Project.

What?

Individuals making significant and valuable contributions are given commit-access to the project to contribute as they see fit. This project is more like an open wiki than a standard guarded open source project.

Rules

There are a few basic ground-rules for contributors:

  1. No --force pushes or modifying the Git history in any way.
  2. Non-master branches ought to be used for ongoing work.
  3. External API changes and significant modifications ought to be subject to an internal pull-request to solicit feedback from other contributors.
  4. Internal pull-requests to solicit feedback are encouraged for any other non-trivial contribution but left to the discretion of the contributor.
  5. Contributors should attempt to adhere to the prevailing code style.

Releases

Declaring formal releases remains the prerogative of the project maintainer.

Changes to this arrangement

This is an experiment and feedback is welcome! This document may also be subject to pull-requests or changes by contributors where you believe you have something valuable to add or change.
