4 Moodle is made by people like you. We are members of a big worldwide community
5 of developers, designers, teachers, testers, translators and other users. We
6 work in universities, schools, companies and other places. You are very welcome
7 to join us and contribute to the project.
9 See <https://docs.moodle.org/dev/Contributing_to_Moodle> for the many ways you
10 can help, not only with coding.
12 Moodle is open to community contributions to core, though all code must go
13 through peer-review, automated behaviour testing, continuous integration and
14 human post-integration checks.
19 Please do not open pull requests via Github. The repository there is just a
20 mirror of the official repository at <https://git.moodle.org>. Issues are
21 reported and patches provided via <https://tracker.moodle.org>. See below for
24 Moodle core bug fixes and new features
25 --------------------------------------
27 During the years of intensive development, a mature process of including
28 submitted patches has evolved.
30 * Every bug fix or new feature must have a tracker issue.
31 * You publish the branch implementing the fix or new feature in your public
32 clone of the moodle.git repository (typically on Github).
33 * Your patch is peer-reviewed, discussed, integrated, tested and then released
34 as a part of moodle.git.
35 * New features are developed on the master branch. Bug fixes are also
36 backported to currently supported maintenance (stable) branches.
38 For further details, see <https://docs.moodle.org/dev/Process>.
43 Moodle has a framework for additional plugins to extend its functionality. We
44 have a Moodle plugins directory <https://moodle.org/plugins/> where you can
45 register and maintain your plugin. Plugins hosted in the plugins directory can
46 be easily installed and updated via the Moodle administration interface.
48 * You are expected to have a public source code repository with your plugin
50 * After registering your plugin in the plugins directory it is reviewed before
52 * You are expected to continuously release updated versions of the plugin via
53 the plugins directory. We do not pull from your code repository; you must do
