Want to contribute? Great! First, read this page (including the small print at the end).
Before we can use your code, you must sign the Google Individual Contributor License Agreement (CLA), which you can do online. The CLA is necessary mainly because you own the copyright to your changes, even after your contribution becomes part of our codebase, so we need your permission to use and distribute your code. We also need to be sure of various other things—for instance that you‘ll tell us if you know that your code infringes on other people’s patents. You don‘t have to sign the CLA until after you’ve submitted your code for review and a member has approved it, but you must do it before we can put your code into our codebase.
Before you start working on a larger contribution, you should get in touch with us first through the issue tracker with your idea so that we can help out and possibly guide you. Coordinating up front makes it much easier to avoid frustration later on.
For existing functionality contributions, please loop corresponding CODEOWNERs in to make sure they know and can provide a review before a merge to avoid potential regressions.
For new functionality like an app, please add your application as a top level folder and yourself as the point of contact in the Cocoon CODEOWNERS file. One good example of an existing app is autosubmit. Feel free to open an infra bug for any design/support discussions, as we are willing to help out.
All submissions, including submissions by project members, require review.
