| 1 | == Contribute to CHICKEN |
|---|
| 2 | |
|---|
| 3 | There are several ways you can contribute to CHICKEN. Here are some suggestions: |
|---|
| 4 | |
|---|
| 5 | === Donate |
|---|
| 6 | |
|---|
| 7 | You can donate some money to CHICKEN. See [[/donate|donate]] for more information. |
|---|
| 8 | |
|---|
| 9 | |
|---|
| 10 | === Create [[eggs]] |
|---|
| 11 | |
|---|
| 12 | If you are a developer and have a library you think that may be useful |
|---|
| 13 | for other CHICKEN developers, you may consider adding it to the |
|---|
| 14 | [[http://wiki.call-cc.org/chicken-projects/egg-index-4.html|CHICKEN |
|---|
| 15 | repository of eggs]]. |
|---|
| 16 | |
|---|
| 17 | For information on how to create eggs, see the [[Eggs tutorial]] page. |
|---|
| 18 | |
|---|
| 19 | The recommended practice for hosting egg code is using a remote VCS |
|---|
| 20 | server. See the [[/releasing-your-egg|Releasing your egg]] document |
|---|
| 21 | for information on how to host egg code and manage releases. |
|---|
| 22 | |
|---|
| 23 | Please drop us a line where to find your egg and we will add it to the |
|---|
| 24 | list. |
|---|
| 25 | |
|---|
| 26 | The documentation for eggs is kept in the CHICKEN Subversion |
|---|
| 27 | repository. In case you add an egg to the official CHICKEN egg index, |
|---|
| 28 | we encourage you to create a Subversion account and write good |
|---|
| 29 | documentation for your egg(s). To create an account, send |
|---|
| 30 | [[/users/mario-domenech-goulart|Mario Domenech Goulart]] an e-mail |
|---|
| 31 | requesting the account creation. To make the creation of your account |
|---|
| 32 | faster, you can provide the following information on your account |
|---|
| 33 | request message: |
|---|
| 34 | |
|---|
| 35 | * the username you want to use for your account |
|---|
| 36 | * the hash of your password. It can be generated with |
|---|
| 37 | |
|---|
| 38 | $ openssl passwd -apr1 |
|---|
| 39 | |
|---|
| 40 | |
|---|
| 41 | === Report bugs |
|---|
| 42 | |
|---|
| 43 | If you find bugs on any CHICKEN tool, egg or documentation, please report them to the [[http://lists.nongnu.org/mailman/listinfo/chicken-users|CHICKEN users mailing list]]. If you have an SVN account, you can use the [[http://bugs.call-cc.org/|CHICKEN bug tracking system]]. |
|---|
| 44 | |
|---|
| 45 | If you are able to fix the bugs, patches are always welcome. Either send them to the mailing list or fill a ticket on the bug tracking system and attach the patch. |
|---|
| 46 | |
|---|
| 47 | ==== Bug reports |
|---|
| 48 | |
|---|
| 49 | If you file a bug to chicken-users, please include the following information in your post if possible: |
|---|
| 50 | |
|---|
| 51 | * CHICKEN version you are experiencing the bug with |
|---|
| 52 | * Your operating system and machine architecture |
|---|
| 53 | * A way to reproduce the bug, maybe by a short snippet of code that shows the behaviour |
|---|
| 54 | |
|---|
| 55 | And it would be really cool if you have a patch that remedies the problem! |
|---|
| 56 | |
|---|
| 57 | |
|---|
| 58 | === Help organizing the wiki |
|---|
| 59 | |
|---|
| 60 | The CHICKEN wiki has accumulated a lot of cruft over the years. It contains a significant |
|---|
| 61 | amount of broken links, outdated material and content which is specific to some particular |
|---|
| 62 | CHICKEN major version which is not even mentioned (because probably at the time the text |
|---|
| 63 | was written it was natural to assume that the version in question was the current one back |
|---|
| 64 | then). Help at improving the wiki situation is very much appreciated. |
|---|
| 65 | |
|---|
| 66 | |
|---|
| 67 | === Areas currently needing help |
|---|
| 68 | |
|---|
| 69 | As the core team is still small we appreciate help in any of these areas: |
|---|
| 70 | |
|---|
| 71 | * More [[eggs]]. We need more and high quality eggs with good documentation |
|---|
| 72 | * [[r7rs-tasks|Getting R7RS support into CHICKEN]] |
|---|
| 73 | * [[security|Help us find security issues]] |
|---|
| 74 | * Run [[http://tests.call-cc.org|tests]] for the CHICKEN tools and eggs (contact [[/users/mario-domenech-goulart|Mario Domenech Goulart]] for more information) |
|---|
