Hundreds of thousands of individuals and users rely on WordPress every day to consume and share information online. For that reason Hyperdrive has strict requirements for code contributions.
And though Hyperdrive may have a high bar for quality, please don't let that deter you from making contributions. We take on all comers.
Where possible project owners, collaborators and contributors should embrace the values of the Agile Manifesto:
- Individuals and Interactions over Processes and Tools
- Working Software over Comprehensive Documentation
- Customer Collaboration over Contract Negotiation, and
- Responding to Change over Following a Plan
Hyperdrive accepts any issue. Be it gratuitously worded, devoid of information or just plain dumb. Feedback is a gift and will be treated as such. No question is stupid, even the stupid ones.
Please open issues when creating PRs and PR against the issue to close it. This establishes a need (the issue) and helps separate the need from the implementation (the pull), resulting in more robust solutions.
Before working on a pull please install and configure EditorConfig for your editor or IDE to help normalize your code syntax with that of the project.
