Dev Quick Start

If you're familiar with open source contributing already and just need the basic details about how we work, here you go! If you're looking for a more in-depth walkthrough, check out Dev getting started instead.


 * Development environment - you have two options
 * Apply for a Dreamhack - get a development environment with everything set up for you (preferred)
 * Dreamwidth Scratch Installation - set up a development environment from scratch (not recommended -- this is pretty much for masochists and completists, and the documentation is not that great)
 * Git repository on GitHub - the main parts of the code you will be interested in are in dw-free
 * Issue tracker (GitHub Issues) - see also Github Issues
 * changelog - changelog community on Dreamwidth which automatically posts commits
 * Don't forget your contributor licensing agreement - we'll need one of these from you before we can accept any contributions.
 * If you run into problems or want to ask a question, ask in the #dreamwidth-dev IRC channel, or in the dw-dev community.
