Contributing to biboumi
=======================

Biboumi’s main workplace is at https://lab.louiz.org/louiz/biboumi

The repository is also mirrored on other websites, for example on github,
but that’s mainly for the convenience of users.

Before doing anything, you can come on the `XMPP chatroom`_ to discuss your
changes, issues or ideas.

Bug reports, feature requests
-----------------------------

To open a bug report, or a feature request, please do so on `our gitlab’s
bug tracker`_.

If the issue you’re reporting may have security implications, please select
the “confidential” flag in your bug report.


Code
----

To contribute code, you can do so using git: commit your changes on any
publicly available git repository and communicate us its address.  This can
be done with a `gitlab merge request`_, or a `github pull request`_ or just
by sending a message into the `XMPP chatroom`_.

It is suggested that you use gitlab’s merge requests: this will
automatically run our continuous integration tests.

It is also recommended to add some unit or end-to-end tests for the proposed
changes.


Coding style
------------
Please try to follow the existing style:

- Use only spaces, not tabs.
- Curly brackets are on their own lines.
- Use this-> everywhere it’s possible.
- Don’t start class attributes with “m_” or similar.
- Type names are in PascalCase.
- Everything else is in snake_case.
