This is a preliminary etiquette doc for phpGroupWare. Please check it from time to
|
||
|
|
time for updates:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
phpGroupWare is a large project, with possibly over 50 developers at the time
|
||
|
|
of this writing. In its current location, it is impossible to restrict access
|
||
|
|
for each developer to a particular module or application. As such, it is
|
||
|
|
important that some basic rules be followed when developing in CVS:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
1. Many of the developers, and all of the core developers, frequent the IRC
|
||
|
|
channel #phpgroupware on irc.openprojects.net. Please take the time to
|
||
|
|
drop by and introduce yourself.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
2. If you want to begin some work on an existing app, please consult the
|
||
|
|
primary developer for the application first. Most of the files will
|
||
|
|
contain some type of identification and/or contact information in the
|
||
|
|
head of each file.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
3. If you are unable to contact the author, please contact at least one of the
|
||
|
|
project leads (Seek3r, jengo, skeeter) or a core developer.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
4. Please see the coding_standard.txt document in this folder for some basic
|
||
|
|
guidelines for code formatting. PHP can be interpreted in many forms,
|
||
|
|
and this document outlines our preference to ensure readability and
|
||
|
|
compatibility.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
5. If you have just joined the project, or have always kept to your own
|
||
|
|
application, etc., then please exercise caution when committing changes
|
||
|
|
in the phpgwapi (the API), admin, and preferences modules. These can
|
||
|
|
affect the operation of all applications. In particular, work done in
|
||
|
|
the API is typically allowed only with prior consent from one of the
|
||
|
|
project leads. In other words, work done here without some notification
|
||
|
|
and authorization is very risky to your continued involvement with this
|
||
|
|
project ;)
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
6. If you are working in the API, or on some other application which could
|
||
|
|
affect the useability for users and developers, please be sure to fully
|
||
|
|
test your changes. It is recommended that you visit a large sampling of
|
||
|
|
applications to ensure that they still work as expected after your
|
||
|
|
changes. This could include the functioning of one application or the
|
||
|
|
API against mysql AND pgsql, at least. It could also affect the function
|
||
|
|
of an application that uses LDAP instead of SQL for storage and
|
||
|
|
retreival.
