## Basics |
|
First of all CppCMS project would be glad to receive any help, there is a lot of work to do and any help would be appropriate. |
|
I would strongly recommend you to join [cppcms-users](https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/cppcms-users) mailing list, this would help CppCMS community to communicate with each other, allow you to get latest updates and see the recent developments. |
|
The most basic and most important help you can provide: work with CppCMS, build applications, find issues and _report them_. This is very important to receive inputs from community to be able to create high quality framework. |
|
There are many other areas you can help that are not directly |
related to coding: translate software and documentation, provide examples etc. |
|
## Before you begin... |
|
**Remember:** there are two branches of CppCMS: 0.0.x stable branch and alpha version of CppCMS: 1.x.x branch that |
includes significant improvements and revisited API. |
|
Note they are very similar but not compatible branches, so |
decide where do you want to help: the old, stable and |
working code that someday may become legacy and unstable |
branch that is the future of CppCMS. |
**Remember:** there are two branches of CppCMS: 0.0.x old stable branch and upcoming version of CppCMS: 1.x.x |
branch that includes significant improvements and |
revisited API but still has no stabilized API. |
|
I would strongly recommend using unstable branch. |
I would strongly recommend using upcoming 1.x.x branch. |
|
## Contributing the code |
|
If you decided to contribute the code first thing I would |
recommend to read is coding standards document. This would |
help you to understand what can be done and what cannot. |
|
- [CppCMS 1.x.x unstable branch standards](/wikipp/en/page/cppcms_1x_coding_standards) |
- [CppCMS 0.0.x stable branch standards](/wikipp/en/page/coding_standard) |
- [CppCMS Coding Standards](/wikipp/en/page/cppcms_1x_coding_standards) |
|
Please do not forget [this section](/wikipp/en/page/cppcms_1x_coding_standards#copy) about copyrights policy. |
|
Next step, write patches and send them to me, I would review them and if everything ok I would integrate them |
to the CppCMS source tree. |
|
If you want to become a project member, send me some some |
information about yourself, open SourceForge account and after several significant patches I would be glad to provide you write SVN access. |
|
In any case, feel free to write me over CppCMS mailing list or directly to _artyomtnk_ **AT** _yahoo_ **DOT** _com_. |
