Contributing to translations

We use WebTranslateIt to manage translations of the app interface. Please read our wiki page to find out more about this. If your language is featured on WebTranslateIt, please do not open a pull request to update translations. If it is not already featured on WebTranslateIt, please read the wiki article above to find out how to proceed.

Contributing to the code

Before opening a pull request please read how to contribute. Doing things the right way from the start will save us time and mean that your contribution can be integrated quicker!

  • Follow our git workflow method. In particular, do not open a pull request from the master or the develop branch.
  • Follow our styleguide and run pronto, our syntax analyzer, locally before opening a pull request. See our wiki for information on how to do this.
  • Write tests.
  • Use meaningful commit-messages and split larger tasks, e.g. refactoring, into separate commits. This makes the review process much easier.

Other ways to contribute

You don’t know code? No worries, there are plenty other ways to help the diaspora* project! Please find out how you can help on our wiki.
