Contributing to this project

Please take a moment to review this document in order to make the contribution process easy and effective for everyone involved.

Using the issue tracker

The issue tracker is the preferred channel for bug reports, features requests and submitting pull requests, but please respect the following restrictions:

  • Please do not use the issue tracker for personal support requests or questions. Use the community board instead. You can sign in using your GitHub credentials, making the process as simple as submitting an issue on GitHub itself.

  • Please do not derail issues. Keep the discussion on topic and respect the opinions of others. Start a new issue for a new topic (bug, feature) instead of using the same thread for multiple topics.

Bug reports

A bug is a demonstrable problem that is caused by the code in the repository. Good bug reports are extremely helpful - thank you!

Guidelines for bug reports:

  1. Use the GitHub issue search — check if the issue has already been reported.

  2. Check if the issue has been fixed — try to reproduce it using the latest master branch.

  3. Submit a crash log — If your bug is causing a crash, bsf will generate a crash log in the CrashReports directory. Please submit this log along your report.

A good bug report shouldn't leave others needing to chase you up for more information. Please try to be as detailed as possible in your report.

Feature requests

Feature requests are welcome. But take a moment to find out whether your idea fits with the scope and aims of the project. It's up to you to make a strong case to convince the project's developers of the merits of this feature. Please provide as much detail and context as possible.

If a feature is already listed in the upcoming feature tracker use that thread to discuss the feature and ask to be assigned to that particular task if you are interested in developing it.

Pull requests

Good pull requests - patches, improvements, new features - are a fantastic help. They should remain focused in scope and avoid containing unrelated commits.

Please ask first before embarking on any significant pull request (e.g. implementing features, refactoring code), otherwise you risk spending a lot of time working on something that the project's developers might not want to merge into the project.

Please adhere to the coding conventions used throughout a project (indentation, accurate comments, etc.). See the code style guide and respect the style of surrounding code.
