Kanboard is not perfect but there are many ways to help:
- Give feedback
- Report bugs

- Improve the documentation
- Writing code
- Tell your friends that Kanboard is awesome :)
Before doing any large undertaking, open a new issue and explain your proposal.
I want to give feedback

- Check if your idea is not already proposed
- Open a new issue
- Describe your idea

I want to translate Kanboard
----------------------------
Kanboard is translated in many languages.
However, translations are not complete, take look at the [translation guide to contribute](http://kanboard.net/documentation/translations).
I want to improve the documentation
-----------------------------------
- You think something is not clear, there is grammatical errors, typo errors, anything.
- The documentation is written in Markdown and stored in the folder `docs`.
2015-12-29 01:24:09 +01:00
- Edit the files and send a pull-request.
- The documentation on the official website is synchronized with the repository.
I want to contribute to the code
--------------------------------

Pull-requests are always welcome however, to be accepted you have to follow those directives:
- **Before doing any large change or design proposal, open a new ticket to start a discussion.**
- If you want to add a new feature, respect the philosophy behind Kanboard. **We focus on simplicity**, we don't want to have a bloated software.
- The same apply for the user interface, **simplicity and efficiency**.
2015-12-29 01:24:09 +01:00
- Send only one pull-request per feature or bug fix.
- A smaller pull-request is easier to review and faster it will be merged.
- Make sure the [unit tests pass](tests.markdown).
- Respect the [coding standards](coding-standards.markdown).
- Write maintainable code, avoid code duplication, use PHP good practices.
In any case, if you are not sure about something open a new ticket.
Tell your friends that Kanboard is awesome :)
---------------------------------------------
If you use Kanboard, spread the word around you.
Tell them that free and open source software are cool :)
