We'd love for you to contribute to our source code and to make the project even better than it is today! Here are the guidelines we'd like you to follow:
As contributors and maintainers of the project, we pledge to respect everyone who contributes by posting issues, updating documentation, submitting pull requests, providing feedback in comments, and any other activities.
Communication through any of Firebase's channels (GitHub, StackOverflow, Google+, Twitter, etc.) must be constructive and never resort to personal attacks, trolling, public or private harassment, insults, or other unprofessional conduct.
We promise to extend courtesy and respect to everyone involved in this project regardless of gender, gender identity, sexual orientation, disability, age, race, ethnicity, religion, or level of experience. We expect anyone contributing to the project to do the same.
If any member of the community violates this code of conduct, the maintainers of the project may take action, removing issues, comments, and PRs or blocking accounts as deemed appropriate.
If you are subject to or witness unacceptable behavior, or have any other concerns, please drop us a line at samstern@google.com
If you have questions about how to use the Firebase Android Quickstarts, please direct these to StackOverflow and use the firebase tag. We are also available on GitHub issues.
If you feel that we're missing an important bit of documentation, feel free to file an issue so we can help. Here's an example to get you started:
What are you trying to do or find out more about?
Where have you looked?
Where did you expect to find this information?
If you find a bug in the source code or a mistake in the documentation, you can help us by submitting an issue to our [GitHub Repository][github]. Even better you can submit a Pull Request with a fix.
See below for some guidelines.
Before you submit your issue search the archive, maybe your question was already answered.
If your issue appears to be a bug, and hasn't been reported, open a new issue. Help us to maximize the effort we can spend fixing issues and adding new features, by not reporting duplicate issues. Providing the following information will increase the chances of your issue being dealt with quickly:
- Overview of the Issue - if an error is being thrown a non-minified stack trace helps
- Motivation for or Use Case - explain why this is a bug for you
- Browsers and Operating System - is this a problem with all browsers or only IE9?
- Reproduce the Error - provide a live example (using JSBin) or a unambiguous set of steps.
- Related Issues - has a similar issue been reported before?
- Suggest a Fix - if you can't fix the bug yourself, perhaps you can point to what might be causing the problem (line of code or commit)
If you get help, help others. Good karma rulez!
