Contributing
If you'd like to contribute to Jasper, we've created a Contributing Guide, available here. It outlines the philosophies to preserve, tests to run, and more. If you're looking for potential features to build, we've included some recommendations there as well.
We highly recommend reading through this guide before writing any code. Thanks in advance for any and all work you contribute to Jasper!

Major Updates
- 2014-08-09: Modularized STT implementation with Google Speech API example, thanks to astahlman. Running
populate.pyafter updating is highly recommended. - 2014-07-11: More platform-independent audio output. Thank you, astahlman!
- 2014-05-27: The network setup wizard has been removed because of unreliability. The client code and documentation has been updated, requiring new users to manually configure their
/etc/network/interfacesfile.
