Developer Guidelines

BOARD18 is currently a very small project. At the time of this writing only 4 people have contributed code, documentation or other work to BOARD18.
The testing community for BOARD18 consists of fewer than 10 people. Thus there is not yet much formal structure to the project.

The creator and main designer/coder of BOARD18 is Rich Price. And he could also be considered the informal project leader.
You can contact him on the forums or by email to rich at gandalf.ws.

Communication with other Developers

The BOARD18 project has a FUD forum at forum.board18.org. Rich Price monitors all of the existing sub forums. It is hoped that developers will use the developers forum to communicate coding information and to announce bug submissions and merge requests to each other. As of April, 2014, this sub forum has been mostly dormant. I suspect that the lack of developers may have something to do with this.

Reporting Bugs

The BOARD18 project also has a BUGZILLA issue tracker at bugs.board18.org. This tool should be used to track bugs, enhancement requests and other tasks. The bug list should be a good source of ideas for developers looking for something to do.

Submitting Merge Requests

The BOARD18 project keeps its repositories at Gitorious. Use this How To document as a guide to using Gitorious to code for the BOARD18 Project.
