Contributing

We welcome bug fixes and new features in the form of pull requests. If you'd like to contribute, please be mindful of the following guidelines:

• All changes should include suitable tests, whether to demonstrate the bug or exercise and document the new feature.
• Please make one change per pull request.
• If the new feature is significantly large/complex/breaks existing behaviour, please first post a summary of your idea on the mailing list to generate a discussion. This will avoid significant amounts of coding time spent on changes that ultimately get rejected.
• Try to avoid reformats of files that change the indentation, tabs to spaces etc., as this makes reviewing diffs much more difficult.
