Check out the latest master to make sure the feature hasn't been implemented or the bug hasn't been fixed yet.
Check out the issue tracker to make sure someone already hasn't requested it and/or contributed it.
Fork the project.
Start a feature/bugfix branch.
Commit and push until you are happy with your contribution.
Make sure to add tests for it, if possible.
If you're interested in working on an issue that has been assigned to somebody, we encourage you to get in touch with them first!

use the .scss sytax
use @import over to import styles in application.css.scss
keep to the conventions of the application.css.scss manifest: the granularity of rules increases top to bottom (general styles on top, more specific ones last)
global rules go into base/
page specific styles into pages/
site-wide used component rules go into base/components.scss (extract a components/ directory if it gets to big)
