The default installation +uses publicly-available services to help with development and testing. -When writing code it is generally a good idea to try and match your -formatting to hat of any existing code in the same file, or to other -similar files if you are writing new code. Consistency of layout is -far more important that the layout itself as it makes reading code -much easier. - -One golden rule of formatting -- please don't use tabs in your code -as they will cause the file to be formatted differently for different -people depending on how they have their editor configured. - -## Testing - -Having a good suite of tests is very important to the stability and -maintainability of any code base. The tests in the Rails port code are -by no means complete, but they are extensive, and must continue to be -so with any new functionality which is written. Tests are also useful -in giving others confidence in the code you've written, and can -greatly speed up the process of merging in new code. - -When hacking, you should: - -* Write new tests to cover the new functionality you've added. -* Where appropriate, modify existing tests to reflect new or changed -functionality. -* Never comment out or remove a test just because it doesn't pass. - -## Comments - -Sometimes it's not apparent from the code itself what it does, or, -more importantly, **why** it does that. Good comments help your fellow -developers to read the code and satisfy themselves that it's doing the -right thing. - -When hacking, you should: - -* Comment your code - don't go overboard, but explain the bits which -might be difficult to understand what the code does, why it does it -and why it should be the way it is. -* Check existing comments to ensure that they are not misleading. - -## Committing +# License -When you submit patches, the project maintainer has to read them and -understand them. This is difficult enough at the best of times, and -misunderstanding patches can lead to them being more difficult to -merge.

For full details please see [INSTALL.md](INSTALL.md) -* A one line summary, starting with a capital and with no full stop. -* A blank line. -* Full description, as proper sentences with capitals and full stops. +# Development -For simple commits the one line summary is often enough and the body -of the commit message can be left out. +We're always keen to have more developers!
