Want to help out the project? We’d love for you to! Here’s how you can contribute:
Help others in the forums
Someone from the core team will always read the forum, but the core team may not always have time to respond. If you see a question you know, go ahead and help – pay it forward.
If you want to contribute some add-on’s to our existing documentation or a how-to article
- Create a page for article or documentation add-on on the public wiki (password: actsaspassword)
- Alternately, you can post the article on your own blog and link to it from the wiki.
- Create a forum post linking to the article you just created.
We’ll discuss and possibly revise (if it’s on the wiki) your article and if it passes muster integrate it into the core documentation (or in the case of a blog post, add it to our list of external resources).
If you’ve written code to fix a particular bug on the issue tracker
Create an svn patch and attach it to the issue page. We love seeing user-submitted patches :)
If your code adds a swath of extra functionality to ActiveScaffold
- Please release it as a separate plugin
- Create a link to your new plugin on the third party plugins wiki page. (password: actsaspassword)
- Announce your plugin on the forum
If your plugin overlaps with the mission of ActiveScaffold the core team may decide to fold your plugin into ActiveScaffold proper; otherwise assume that while your add-on is highly useful we feel it’s best left as something optional for users.
If you want to join the core team
Get your feet wet by submitting patches and let us know that you’re interested in a higher level of committment. We’ll get back to you.
