CONTRIBUTING TO MOODLE ====================== Moodle is made by people like you. We are members of a big worldwide community of developers, designers, teachers, testers, translators and other users. We work in universities, schools, companies and other places. You are very welcome to join us and contribute to the project. See for the many ways you can help, not only with coding. Moodle is open to community contributions to core, though all code must go through peer-review, automated behaviour testing, continuous integration and human post-integration checks. Pull requests ------------- Please do not open pull requests via Github. The repository there is just a mirror of the official repository at . Issues are reported and patches provided via . See below for more information. Moodle core bug fixes and new features -------------------------------------- During the years of intensive development, a mature process of including submitted patches has evolved. * Every bug fix or new feature must have a tracker issue. * You publish the branch implementing the fix or new feature in your public clone of the moodle.git repository (typically on Github). * Your patch is peer-reviewed, discussed, integrated, tested and then released as a part of moodle.git. * New features are developed on the master branch. Bug fixes are also backported to currently supported maintenance (stable) branches. For further details, see . Moodle plugins -------------- Moodle has a framework for additional plugins to extend its functionality. We have a Moodle plugins directory where you can register and maintain your plugin. Plugins hosted in the plugins directory can be easily installed and updated via the Moodle administration interface. * You are expected to have a public source code repository with your plugin code. * After registering your plugin in the plugins directory it is reviewed before being published. * You are expected to continuously release updated versions of the plugin via the plugins directory. We do not pull from your code repository; you must do it explicitly. For further details, see .
