Incubator

If you have a neat feature in mind that would improve Sympa and that you would be willing to develop, here is the place to go!

Here, your projects will be warm and comfortable until they are ready to fly. We will grant them their own wiki page and a branch where to learn flying on our subversion tree.

If you have a good idea but no clue on how to implement it, please fill in a feature request in the Sympa tracker. we'll handle it as soon as possible.

the four (possible) steps to contribute to Sympa

Here is a suggested way to contribute to start contributing to Sympa.

This is just a suggestion. If you already have done all the planning / architecture of your Sympa feature, you can go directly to the last point and request a development branch.

Browse the feature requests. Somebody could have had the same idea as you and even given it a first shot of ideas / architecture/ patches. It can be a good source of inspiration.
Write to the developpers. Not only the Sympa authors, but all the people having been involved in the Sympa development; they are very nice and skilled people. They could have a lot of advices to provide. The sympa-dev list is a good way to contact them. <HTML

><a href="mailto:sympa@renater.fr?subject=sub%20sympa-dev">Click here to subscribe to sympa-dev</a>.</HTML> By discussing with other people, you can narrow what the right way to implement your feature is;
1. create your nest in this incubator. You just have to edit this page The main interest of this page is to keep clear what your feature do and to write the documentation needed. as soon as your feature go live, the documentation will be intergrated to the Sympa manual. You should clearly separate the configuration part and the description of how to use your feature.
2. When you feel you can start coding, tell us.
  We will create a development branch for you on our subversion repository. this is probably the quickest way to see your feature added to the main Sympa distribution.
