Rules

We are always very happy to have code contributions whether for trivial cleanups or big new features. In general, patches should include:

  • Code change
  • Unit tests
  • Javadocs
  • Metrics
  • Logging

To submit a patch for inclusion please do the following:

  • If you are working on a big new feature (project), follow the steps outlined on the design documents page.
  • Create a patch that applies cleanly against trunk.
  • Make sure you have observed the recommendations in the style guide.
  • Open a JIRA ticket describing the patch and attach your patch to the JIRA.
  • Open a Review Board ticket with your patch attached.
  • Post a link to the RB code review on the JIRA ticket.
  • Nag us if we don’t follow up on your JIRA in a timely fashion.
