The mechanics of contributing

If you are interested to join the project and contribute in any way, you are very welcome to do so.

Anyone can join the team, one thing we would like you to do before you start contributing is contacting us and providing us with your github account's username so we can add you to the team. Why do we need to add you to the team? So that we can give you right to issue managements and pull/push privileges to the project. It also also nice to visually see who is part of the development team.

Please read this wiki to get yourself familiar with coding standards and other few very important things that should be taken into concideration.

If you never have contributed to an open source project before, in a nutshell it works like this; We provide you the codebase via github, you pick an issue to work on or create your own issue and start working on it. When you are done, we merge your code changes into the application code and you have contributed to the project. You don't get paid for the work, nor you get to claim copyrights for your code, but you get a great feeling of being a part of something and getting appreciation from fellow developers.
