Developer Guidelines for Contributions

Contributions to webERP are encouraged - these simple procedures for doing
so are aimed at reducing the effort for other developers and co-ordinating
the efforts of all contributors:

  1.. Join the list web...@li... and inform the
list of your proposed developments to avoid overlapping effort.
  b.. Obtain the latest development scripts from CVS - see sourceforge
instructions for anonymous cvs checkout the CVS files intially then updates
daily - this only downloads any modified scripts, or update immediately
before commencing any development.
  c.. After any modifications to the scripts - email (only) the modified
scripts to dai...@so... within 12 hours of your last update from
CVS. They will be committed to CVS as soon as possible after receipt and
testing. If you wish to modify several scripts email only the scripts
modified each day for submission to CVS rather than waiting for all the
modifications to be complete. This will minimise any re-work for
modifications done on the same script by other developers.
  d.. Create any new scripts in your own time frame and submit them to
dai...@so.... They will be committed to CVS as soon as possible
after receipt and testing.
  e.. Where modifications span 10 or more scripts at the same time, request
a stay on development from other developers using the list
web...@li...
  f.. All submissions of modifications or additions should be accompanied by
an updated change.log file describing the changes to each script. This is a
chore but explains to everyone the nature of the changes made. Each entry in
the change log should state the developer name and date of the
change/addition.
  g.. Requests for modification of the database structure or fields should
be made to dai...@so...
