How is the project managed?

The project is managed with a "fork and pull-request" pattern.

If you want to contribute, fork this repo and submit a pull-request of your changes when you're ready.

Anyone can create Issues, and pull requests should be tied back to an issue describing the purpose of the submitted code.

The Tests

In an ideal world for a bug fix: write a test of your own that fails as a result of the bug being present. Then fix the bug so that your unit-test passes. The test will now be a guard against the bug ever coming back.

Similarly for enhancements, exercise your code with tests.

Whatever else happens, if you make changes to the code, the unit & integration test suite (under core/src/main/test/) should all continue to function. Pull requests with broken tests will be rejected.
