Hack on SpringLobby!¶

There's lots of work in and not limited to the actual implementation, graphics, documentation, translation, ui, testing, packaging for more systems etc. Help is appreciated.

Repository Access¶

The SpringLobby project uses Git, a "fast version control system". Among its many features is its allowance for a highly non-linear development model.

• Visit our Git page for information on what repositories are available, and instructions on how to access them. A working introduction to Git use is provided for the uninitiated.
• If you have no access to Git repository, then you can grab sourcecode form here.

Documentation for Hacking¶

If you plan to contribute your changes to the project (we'd appreciate it), please read our Code Style Guide.
Also have a look at Visual Class Guide to get a hang of what is what.
