Contributing to Spinneret

Spinneret is an open source project that encourages community contributions to all aspects:

Code

  • Propose all code changes via a pull request in the GitHub repository;
  • Use Twisted's coding standard;
  • Ensure codes changes have unit tests and good coverage;
  • New features should have examples and documentation;
  • Add yourself to AUTHORS.

Documentation

  • The header order:

    ========
    Header 1
    ========
    
    Header 2
    ========
    
    Header 3
    --------
    
    Header 4
    ~~~~~~~~
    
  • Perform at least basic spelling checks;

  • Use gender-neutral language (singular they is great!);

Reviewing

All code that is merged into Spinneret must be reviewed by at least one person other than an author of the change.

While perfection is a noble goal it often leads to an idea that improvement without achieving perfection is not an improvement. Improvements need only be that, improvements. Glyph wrote a compelling email on this topic, it's worth reading if you're a reviewer or a contributor.
