General rules

For information about cloning, building the project and sending a pull request please check out this page.

This is an open-source project on which anybody, from anywhere in the world, can contribute. That means different people with different levels of knowledge and experience, so communication is key. Please use your common-sense and be patient and polite with everybody.

As mentioned in the GitHub Community Guidelines, here are some general rules:

• Be welcoming and open-minded - Other collaborators may not have the same experience level or background as you, but that doesn't mean they don't have good ideas to contribute. We encourage you to be welcoming to new collaborators on your projects and discussions.

• Assume no malice - Humans make mistakes, and disagreements or differences of opinion are a fact of life. Try to approach conflict from the perspective that people generally mean well. This will promote a respectful and friendly atmosphere where people feel comfortable asking questions, participating in discussions, and making contributions.

• Stay on topic - People use GitHub to get work done and to be more productive. Off topic comments are a distraction (sometimes welcome, but usually not) from getting work done and being productive. Staying on topic helps produce positive and productive discussions.

• Be clear - Communicating with strangers on the Internet can be awkward. It's hard to convey or read tone, and sarcasm is frequently misunderstood. Try to use clear language, and think about how it will be received by the other person.

Please note that any sort of offending or violent comments will not be tolerated and will be deleted immediately.
