Contributing

NOTE: The Forgejo instance which hosts the Vimm DL code is currently closed to account registrations. Due to this, external contributors cannot access the issue board or make pull requests. Most contributions must be submitted via email to one of the core maintainers.

It is planned to open-up access to external contributors once Forgejo implements federation.

There are multiple ways of contributing to the development of Vimm DL.

Submitting Patches

In lieu of pull requests, code contributions and patches must be emailed to one of the core maintainers. Refer to this guide if you are not familiar with sending Git patches over email.

Updating Wiki Information

The official wiki is version-controlled with Git. Therefore, it follows the same method for submitting contributions as Submitting Patches.

The wiki can be cloned from the following URL:

Reporting Bugs

Bug reports can be emailed to one of the core maintainers. At a minimum, the report should include the following:

  • A succinct description of the bug.
  • Steps to reproduce.
  • Any screenshots or logs.

The bug report will be included on the Forgejo issue board once it passes review.

Requesting Features

Feature requests can be emailed to one of the core maintainers. At a minimum, a feature request should include the following:

  • A succinct description of the feature.
  • Needs and benefits.
  • Screenshots or examples to better illustrate the requested feature.

The feature request will appear on the Forgejo issue board once it passes review.
