1 If you plan to submit patches, here's a checklist:
5 - make commits of logical units;
6 - do not modify piece of code not related to your commit;
7 - do not try to fix style of code you are not writing,
8 it's just adding noise for no gain;
9 - check for unnecessary whitespace with "git diff --check" before commiting;
10 - do not check in commented out code or unneeded files;
11 - provide a meaningful commit message;
12 - the first line of the commit message should be a short;
13 description and should skip the full stop;
14 - if you want your work included, add a
15 "Signed-off-by: Your Name <you@example.com>" line to the
16 commit message (or just use the option "-s" when commiting);
17 - make sure that you have tests for the bug you are fixing.
21 - use "git format-patch -M" to create the patch;
22 - do not PGP sign your patch;
23 - be careful doing cut & paste into your mailer, not to corrupt whitespaces;
24 - if you change, add or remove the user API, the associated documentation
25 should be updated as well;
26 - send the patch to the list (awesome-devel@naquadah.org) if (and only if)
27 the patch is ready for inclusion. If you use git-send-email(1), please
28 test it first by sending email to yourself.
