WebService Plugins Contribution Guide

1. Create a fork

Please create an account (it's free) and create your own personal fork of the project first

2. Clone your own fork

Checkout your personal fork and modify the features/functions or add new ones.

3. Commit your code

Test your code in the experimental instance of VS and do a real deploy and test it under load. Commit your bug free tested code. Create a new Branch and give it a nice name indicating your contribution. Don't forget to add yourself as a Contributor and add your copyright notices as you seem fit. Remember, you are not allowed to remove any copyrights or contributors, you are only allowed to add yourself as a contributor and only allowed copyrights on the original code that you write. If you add code from other contributors or copyright holders, don't forget to add them and their copyright notices where applicable as well.

4. Create a Merge Request

From your nice named branch into the correct branch in the main project. Take a break and be a proud contributor.

5. Check your emails

In case the maintainer of the original project has questions, comments or found problems with your code. If not, and your contribution is accepted, your code will be merged into the master project and you will live a happier life.
