# This is an OPEN Open Source Project
|
|
|
|
-----------------------------------------
|
|
|
|
## What?
|
|
|
|
Individuals making significant and valuable contributions are given
|
|
commit-access to the project to contribute as they see fit. This project is
|
|
more like an open wiki than a standard guarded open source project.
|
|
|
|
## Rules
|
|
|
|
There are a few basic ground-rules for contributors:
|
|
|
|
1. **No `--force` pushes** or modifying the Git history in any way.
|
|
1. **Non-master branches** ought to be used for ongoing work.
|
|
1. **External API changes and significant modifications** ought to be subject
|
|
to an **internal pull-request** to solicit feedback from other contributors.
|
|
1. Internal pull-requests to solicit feedback are *encouraged* for any other
|
|
non-trivial contribution but left to the discretion of the contributor.
|
|
1. For significant changes wait a full 24 hours before merging so that active
|
|
contributors who are distributed throughout the world have a chance to weigh
|
|
in.
|
|
1. Contributors should attempt to adhere to the prevailing code-style.
|
|
1. Run `npm test` locally before submitting your PR, to catch any easy to miss
|
|
style & testing issues. To diagnose test failures, there are two ways to
|
|
run a single test file:
|
|
- `node_modules/.bin/taper tests/test-file.js` - run using the default
|
|
[`taper`](https://github.com/nylen/taper) test reporter.
|
|
- `node tests/test-file.js` - view the raw
|
|
[tap](https://testanything.org/) output.
|
|
|
|
|
|
## Releases
|
|
|
|
Declaring formal releases remains the prerogative of the project maintainer.
|
|
|
|
## Changes to this arrangement
|
|
|
|
This is an experiment and feedback is welcome! This document may also be
|
|
subject to pull-requests or changes by contributors where you believe you have
|
|
something valuable to add or change.
