## Contributing to Shaarli (community repository)
|
|
|
|
### Bugs and feature requests
|
|
**Reporting bugs, feature requests: issues management**
|
|
|
|
You can look through existing bugs/requests and help reporting them [here](https://github.com/shaarli/Shaarli/issues).
|
|
|
|
Constructive input/experience reports/helping other users is welcome.
|
|
|
|
The general guideline of the fork is to keep Shaarli simple (project and code maintenance, and features-wise), while providing customization capabilities (plugin system, making more settings configurable).
|
|
|
|
Check the [milestones](https://github.com/shaarli/Shaarli/milestones) to see what issues have priority.
|
|
|
|
* The issues list should preferably contain **only tasks that can be actioned immediately**. Anyone should be able to open the issues list, pick one and start working on it immediately.
|
|
* If you have a clear idea of a **feature you expect, or have a specific bug/defect to report**, [search the issues list, both open and closed](https://github.com/shaarli/Shaarli/issues?q=is%3Aissue) to check if it has been discussed, and comment on the appropriate issue. If you can't find one, please open a [new issue](https://github.com/shaarli/Shaarli/issues/new)
|
|
* **General discussions** fit in #44 so that we don't follow a slope where users and contributors have to track 90 "maybe" items in the bug tracker. Separate issues about clear, separate steps can be opened after discussion.
|
|
* You can also join instant discussion at https://gitter.im/shaarli/Shaarli, or via IRC as described [here](https://github.com/shaarli/Shaarli/issues/44#issuecomment-77745105)
|
|
|
|
### Documentation
|
|
**the [wiki](https://github.com/shaarli/Shaarli/wiki) is world-writable** - anyone can edit or add chapters and pages.
|
|
|
|
* Large changes should preferably be discussed in [General discussion](https://github.com/shaarli/Shaarli/issues/44) beforehand (you can post a draft there and edit it).
|
|
* If you create a new page, please link it from the new page (eg from the [Other links](https://github.com/shaarli/Shaarli/wiki#other-links) section.
|
|
* The wiki is a general documentation about Shaarli: usage, development, hacks, usage tricks, related links, projects. Try to keep it organized.
|
|
* The wiki will be synced to Shaarli's `doc/` directory on each release. Keep that in mind when reviewing the quality of your edits.
|
|
|
|
You can make the project known by publishing blog posts/articles/videos about it and adding them to the links section in the wiki.
|
|
|
|
### Translations
|
|
Currently Shaarli has no translation/internationalization/localization system available and is single-language. You can help by proposing an i18n system (issue https://github.com/shaarli/Shaarli/issues/121)
|
|
|
|
### Beta testing
|
|
You can help testing Shaarli releases by immediately upgrading your installation after a [new version has been releases](https://github.com/shaarli/Shaarli/releases).
|
|
|
|
All current development happens in [Pull Requests](https://github.com/shaarli/Shaarli/pulls). You can test proposed patches by cloning the Shaarli repo, adding the Pull Request branch and `git checkout` to it. You can also merge multiple Pull Requests to a testing branch.
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
git clone https://github.com/shaarli/Shaarli
|
|
git remote add pull-request-25 owner/cool-new-feature
|
|
git remote add pull-request-26 anotherowner/bugfix
|
|
git remote update
|
|
git checkout -b testing
|
|
git merge cool-new-feature
|
|
git merge bugfix
|
|
```
|
|
Or see [Checkout Github Pull Requests locally](https://gist.github.com/piscisaureus/3342247)
|
|
|
|
Please report any problem you might find.
