Developer guide

Contributing to FOREST should be simple. Building, testing and documenting the code should be as easy as falling off a log, pardon the pun.

To get ideas on how to contribute, first take a look at the existing issues list. If an issue exists that you would like to work on, go ahead and assign yourself to it or drop a comment so that one of our developers can get in touch.

Alternatively, if there are no issues that address your need open a new issue that describes the feature or bug you are thinking about. A well written issue will make it easy for other developers to help you, review your changes or even point out similar functionality that may already be being worked on elsewhere.

The issue list is organised into projects. Projects help us prioritise which issues should to be tackled next. It’s a good idea to take a peak at the currently active project to see what is considered urgent and what is deemed less of a priority.
