Pull-requests are always welcome however, to be accepted you have to follow those directives:
- Before doing any large change or design proposal, open a new ticket to start a discussion.
- If you want to add a new feature, respect the philosophy behind Kanboard. We focus on simplicity, we don't want to have a bloated software.

- Send only one pull-request per feature or bug fix.
- A smaller pull-request is easier to review and faster it will be merged.

In any case, if you are not sure about something open a new ticket.
