GitHub has some great articles on how to get started with Git and GitHub and how to fork a project.
Contributers are recommended to fork the app on GitHub (but don't have too). Create a feature branch, push the branch to git hub, press Pull Request and write a simple explanation.
One fix per commit. If say a a commit closes the open issue 12. Just add closes #12 in your commit message to close that issue automagically.
All code that is contributed must be compliant with Apache License 2.0.
For any questions that you have regards to this pleas shoot in a mail at Barcamp Bangalore Mailing List(http://tech.groups.yahoo.com/group/bangalore_barcamp/)
Contributers are recommended to follow the Android Code Style Guidelines with exception for line length that I try to hold to 80 columns where possible.
In short that is;
- Indentation: tabs, no spaces
- Line length: 80 columns
- Braces: Opening braces don't go on their own line.
- Acronyms are words: Treat acronyms as words in names, yielding XmlHttpRequest, getUrl(), etc.
- Consistency: Look at what's around you!
Have fun and remember we do this in our spare time so don't be too serious :)
