Contributing to iSpooge Live

iSpooge Live is a project aims to allow sovereigns to have a platform that plays well with others. This philosophy is reflected in our contributor guidelines. Thanks for considering helping us out.

The lowdown

This project is a personal mission. I'm working toward a 1.0 release and have a development track that I want to lay down.

I want to share the project free, so it's MIT licensed. I may join the social works later. I am happy for communities to develop without my participation, am open to invitations.

Communication

We assume an 8th grade level English proficiency. Translators welcome.

Philosophy

Start with similarities.
Show, don't tell--we prefer to communicate via repo activity RSS feeds.
Focus on what's been done, connections--avoid speculation and wishing.
Time is the enemy, ideas are cheap. (opportunity is where the value is).

eg. I see virtue 1,2,3 of that approach, but based on X,Y,Z I think this approach has merit; check out exhibits A and B.

Making changes

Please do not submit pull requests--we'll find your changes if we want them.
Emails with a pointer to your repo and proposal to move forward are welcome (expect days of delay).
You've already forked off, so we don't need to do anything if we disagree.

Reporting bugs

We use the Eisenhower Matrix approach to classification:

Important/Not - This is required for something that should work, eg. regressions
Urgent/Not - This is required for something that needs to work NOW, eg. broken builds/blockers.

Please provide your best estimate for time and approach we should use to fix. Often times this will lead to contributing a fix. Being "non-technical" is not reasonable.

Recognition

THANKS.md -- add your name when you fork, it'll make it in. I'll add you if we talk.
