How to contribute
Translators: DO NOT use git to contribute translations!!! instead - translate at https://www.transifex.com/projects/p/askbot/.
All documentation is in the directory askbot/doc
To contribute code, please fork and make pull requests.
If you are planning to add a new feature, please bring it up for discussion at our forum (http://askbot.org/en/questions/) and mention that you are willing to develop this feature.
We will merge obvious bug fixes without questions, for more complex fixes please add a test case that fails before and passes after applying your fix.
Notes on using git for Askbot. Please use topic branches only - one per feature or bugfix. Do not add multiple features and fixes into the same branch - those are much harder to understand and merge.
