How to contribute

Read the Code of Conduct.

Reporting bugs or suggesting enhancements

Before reporting a bug, please perform a search to see if the problem has already been reported. If it has, add a comment to the existing issue instead of opening a new one. Same for enhancements.

You can also contact me via E-Mail, XMPP or the Fediverse if you don’t want to open an account.

Pull requests

Please use similar coding conventions as the rest of the project. The basic rule to remember is to write code in the same style as the existing/surrounding code.

You can also send me your patches via E-Mail, ideally using git format-patch or git send-email.
