How to contribute ?

The easiest way to contribute is to publicly fork openscales repository. If you are not familiar with bitbucket, DVCS or Mercurial, you should visit hginit website. hgbook provides you a quality Mercurial reference documentation.

To do this, just create an account on http://bitbucket.org, login and go to openscales repository and click on the fork link. You have now your own copy of OpenScales.

You can improve OpenScales as you want on your fork, and ask when you think code is ready merge of your improvements into OpenScales reference repository. This can be done thanks to the pull request link of your forked repository.

If you are regulary contributing to openscales, you can ask on the discussion group to be granted as OpenScales contributor, in order to be able to push into the reference repository.

Already define tasks are on the Issue page. You can also check the Roadmap.
