========================================================================================

Thank you for your interest in this project! Please refer to the following sections on
|
|
how to contribute code and bug reports.

|
Reporting bugs
|
|
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
|
|
|
|
At the moment, this project is run in the spare time of a single person
|
|
(`Wenzel Jakob <http://rgl.epfl.ch/people/wjakob>`_) with very limited resources for
|
|
issue tracker tickets. Thus, before submitting a question or bug report, please take a
|
|
moment of your time and ensure that your issue isn't already discussed in the project
|
|
documentation elsewhere on this site.
|
|
|
|
Feature requests are generally closed unless they come with a pull request
|
|
that implements the desired functionality.
|
|
|
|
Assuming that you have identified a previously unknown problem or an important question,
|
|
it's essential that you submit a self-contained and minimal piece of code that
|
|
reproduces the problem. In other words: no external dependencies, isolate the
|
|
function(s) that cause breakage, submit matched and complete C++ or Python snippets
|
|
(depending on how you are using NanoGUI) that can be easily compiled and run on my end.

Pull requests
|
|
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
|
|
Contributions are submitted, reviewed, and accepted using Github pull requests. Please
|
|
refer to `this article <https://help.github.com/articles/using-pull-requests>`_ for
|
|
details and adhere to the following rules to make the process as smooth as possible:
|
|
|
|
- Make a new branch for every feature you're working on.
|
|
- Make small and clean pull requests that are easy to review but make sure they do add
|
|
value by themselves.
|
|
- Make sure you have tested any new functionality (e.g. if you made a new Widget).
|
|
- This project has a strong focus on providing general solutions using a minimal amount
|
|
of code, thus small pull requests are greatly preferred.
|
|
- Read the remainder of this document, adhering to the bindings and documentation
|
|
requirements.
|
|
- If making a purely documentation PR, please prefix the commit with ``[docs]``
|
|
|
|
- E.g. ``[docs] Adding documentation for class X.``
