### Contributing to Chosen
Contributions and pull requests are very welcome. Please follow these guidelines when submitting new code.
1. Make all changes in Coffeescript files, **not** JavaScript files.
2. For feature changes, update both jQuery *and* Prototype versions
3. Use `npm install -d` to install the correct development dependencies.
4. Use `cake build` or `cake watch` to generate Chosen's JavaScript file and minified version.
5. Don't touch the `VERSION` file
6. Submit a Pull Request using GitHub.
### Using CoffeeScript & Cake
First, make sure you have the proper CoffeeScript / Cake set-up in place. We have added a package.json that makes this easy:
```
npm install -d
```
This will install `coffee-script` and `uglifyjs`.
Once you're configured, building the JavasScript from the command line is easy:
cake build # build Chosen from source
cake watch # watch coffee/ for changes and build Chosen
If you're interested, you can find the recipes in Cakefile.
