Contributions

If you'd like to contribute to Tango, there are two primary areas: code and documentation. Assistance with the online presence and/or graphics design is also most welcome.

Helping with documentation

If you'd like to assist with the collection of examples and tutorials, we have noted some conventions on how we would prefer them to be structured. Tutorials and examples will be featured prominently on the Tango home-page. Errors or omissions in the documentation should be noted in the ticket-tracker.

Alternatively, each of the API docs have active links into the wiki, where annotations can be attached interactively. This enables a dynamic and useful mechanism for extending the online documentation in a convenient and timely manner, and we strongly encourage users to leverage this.

Additions to the library

If you have ideas for new packages in the library, then send them in! Enhancement requests for both new and existing functionality should be made via the ticket system, and this is also the place for patches to be attached.

Each enhancement will go through a fairly rigorous review process, and will typically be required to expose features orthogonal to those already present. Before additions are committed, they will need to be fully documented, and preferably have 100% test coverage. At a later point, this will probably be a full requirement. Don't let this discourage you from submitting new functionality - we simply strive to retain a high level of quality and a general feeling of cohesion.

Helping with Issues and Enhancements

Registered issues and enhancements can be found in the tracker; see for example all active tickets. If you can resolve a ticket, let us know!

Helping with the Online Presence

We're always open to ideas on how to improve the site, graphics, presentation, content, and/or organization. Feedback is welcome, especially when there's a pair of hands offered to help.
