## Planning ##
|
|
|
|
Right now a lot of the planning for this project takes place in our development Discord, or through GitHub Issues and Projects.
|
|
We're working on ways to improve the planning structure and better solicit feedback, and if you feel like you can help in this respect, feel free to give us a holler.
|

## Documentation ##
|
|
|
|
The documentation for this repository is available at [`glitch-soc/docs`](https://github.com/glitch-soc/docs) (online at [glitch-soc.github.io/docs/](https://glitch-soc.github.io/docs/)).
|
|
Right now, we've mostly focused on the features that make this fork different from upstream in some manner.
|
|
Adding screenshots, improving descriptions, and so forth are all ways to help contribute to the project even if you don't know any code.

## Bug reports
|
|
|
|
Bug reports and feature suggestions must use descriptive and concise titles and be submitted to [GitHub Issues](https://github.com/tootsuite/mastodon/issues). Please use the search function to make sure that you are not submitting duplicates, and that a similar report or request has not already been resolved or rejected.
|
|
|
|

|
|
|
|
You can submit translations via [Crowdin](https://crowdin.com/project/mastodon). They are periodically merged into the codebase.

|
|
|
## Pull requests
|
|
|
|
Please use clean, concise titles for your pull requests. We use commit squashing, so the final commit in the master branch will carry the title of the pull request.
|
|
|
|
The smaller the set of changes in the pull request is, the quicker it can be reviewed and merged. Splitting tasks into multiple smaller pull requests is often preferable.
|
|
|
|
**Pull requests that do not pass automated checks may not be reviewed**. In particular, you need to keep in mind:
|
|
|
|
- Unit and integration tests (rspec, jest)
|
|
- Code style rules (rubocop, eslint)
|
|
- Normalization of locale files (i18n-tasks)
|
|
|
|
## Documentation
|
|
|
|
The [Mastodon documentation](https://docs.joinmastodon.org) is a statically generated site. You can [submit merge requests to tootsuite/documentation](https://github.com/tootsuite/documentation).
