How to Contribute to this Project

Basic Structure of the Repository

If you are an admin or interested in the project, please be aware of the structure of branches of this project:

master: the last stable version of the bot. No changes are added to this branch until they have been properly tested.
dev: version in which we work adding new features. It is mainly used to do tests.
feature/name-of-the-feature: to develop each feature independently. This branch must always be merged with dev.
hotfix/name-of-the-hotfix: to fix small errors. This branch must always be merged with dev.

If you want to contribute to this project, please follow these rules:

Before start working, check the repository issues. Maybe someone is already working on it. If not, create a new issue. Expose your ideas or your requests, and wait for a moderator to inform you about it.
If an admin has given you green light to a new feature, fork this repository to your own account and perform the changes in there.
Once you develop and test your code, you can ask for a pull request. Pull requests would only be accepted if:

#!/usr/bin/env python
# -*- coding: utf8 -*-

The name of the new function is representative and is not used before.
The code does not use tab characters. Please use 4 spaces instead. A tool like autopep8 can be used.
The new function contains a multi-line comment (using Python's """) right after the definition of the function, with:
- A short description of the function.
- A new line that contains: hand: command if it is a command function (using /), hand: message if it is a message reader or hand: daemom : t to create a periodic task every t seconds.
