Bonjour!
I'm starting to settle in to things here at XWiki, which means I'm
starting to find some minor bugs that I can fix (on the way to fixing a
larger one).
As such, Caleb suggested I ask here to be given access to the
github.com/xwiki-contrib/ organization so I can push my changes.
Cool. Do you have an idea about what xwiki-contrib repos you’re going to work on?
Also I need your github id to add you.
Since that puts me in a position to do some minor
damage to the state of
the HEAD, are there any procedures or guidelines I should follow when
making changes?
There are 2 guidelines:
1) General doc for xwiki-contrib: http://contrib.xwiki.org
2) Best practices followed by the xwiki github organization: http://dev.xwiki.org and
specifically http://platform.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/DevGuide/ and even more
specifically http://dev.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Community/ApplicationDevelopmentBestPra… for
applications (maven modules generating XARs artifacts). Note that all contrib projects do
not have to follow them (each project is free to choose its own dev rules) but most do.
Actually, we should improve point 2) and I guess each contrib project should add in a
README.md what dev practices it follows. @All: WDYT?
Thanks

Thanks in advance,
