Contributing

We welcome bug fixes and new features in the form of pull requests. If you'd like to contribute, please be mindful of the following guidelines:

All changes should include suitable tests, whether to demonstrate the bug or exercise and document the new feature.
Please make one change per pull request.
If the new feature is significantly large/complex/breaks existing behaviour, please first post a summary of your idea on the mailing list to generate a discussion. This will avoid significant amounts of coding time spent on changes that ultimately get rejected.
Try to avoid reformats of files that change the indentation, tabs to spaces etc., as this makes reviewing diffs much more difficult.
