# The rulez
# MAKE AN ISSUE BEFORE YOU MAKE A PULL REQUEST PLEASE

It's hard to tell someone to throw away work they've done already, it's easy to
tell them beforehand there's already a solution to their problem and they don't
need to write a PR.

# Other rules

There's a couple. They're not even really rules, more just telling you what you
can expect.

* Pull requests for small bug fixes have the same rules as issues, just submit
it and I'll get to it ASAP.

* I'm very hesitant to change the actual API in any way normally. But I also
don't like telling people to throw away work they've already done. So please,
before you go adding a new feature and submitting a PR, please submit an issue
so we can possibly save you some work.

* The API never breaks. All PRs which aren't backwards compatible will not be
accepted. Similarly, if I do commit something which isn't backwards compatible
with an older behavior please submit an issue ASAP so I can fix it.
