How to contribute

First of all, we are happy about every piece of code/documentation that you contribute. Communication is key. Please coordinate your contributions ahead of time with us to minimize overhead work for both sides.

We also kindly ask to follow a few rules & guidelines:

• Sign off your contribution (this is a Git feature)
• Follow the seven rules of a great Git commit message
• Split your work in easy to digest and coherent commits
• Keep reformatting of existing code to a minimum or do it in a separate commit
• If you touch code in header files or write documentation, build the doc target to check for any warnings

That said, please use GitHub pull requests for your contribution. It would be also great if you could open a ticket in our ticket system. Leave the priority set at

Needs Triage

and add the

#pull_request

tag. This is the best way of raising awareness.
