Contributing

Thanks for taking the time to contribute to django-ldapdb!

Code of Conduct

This project and everyone participating in it is governed by the Code of Conduct. By participating, you are expected to uphold this code. Please report inappropriate behavior to raphael DOT barrois AT xelmail DOT com.

(If I'm the person with the inappropriate behavior, please accept my apologies. I know I can mess up. I can't expect you to tell me, but if you chose to do so, I'll do my best to handle criticism constructively. -- Raphaël)

(As the community around this project grows, we hope to have more core developers available to handle that kind of issues)

Contributions

Bug reports, patches, documentation improvements and suggestions are welcome!

Please open an issue or send a pull request.

Feedback about the documentation is especially valuable — the authors of django-ldapdb feel more confident about writing code than writing docs :-)

Where to start?

If you're new to the project and want to help, a great first step would be:

  • Fixing an issue in the docs (outdated setup instructions, missing information, unclear feature, etc.);
  • Working on an existing issue (some should be marked BeginnerFriendly);
  • Reviewing an existing pull request;
  • Or any other way you'd like to help.

Code contributions

In order to merge some code, you'll need to open a pull request.

There are a few rules to keep in mind regarding pull requests:

  • A pull request should only solve a single issue / add a single feature;
  • If the code change is significant, please also create an issue for easier discussion;
  • We have automated testing; please make sure that the updated code passes automated checks;
  • We're striving to improve the quality of the library, with higher test and docs coverage. If you don't know how/where to add docs or tests, we'll be very happy to point you in the right direction!

Questions

GitHub issues aren't a good medium for handling questions. There are better places to ask questions, for example Stack Overflow; please use the django-ldapdb tag to make those questions easy to find by the maintainers.

If you want to ask a question anyway, please make sure that:

  • it's a question about django-ldapdb and not about python-ldap or LDAP;
  • it isn't answered by the documentation;
  • it wasn't asked already.

A good question can be written as a suggestion to improve the documentation.
