How to get my code contributions in the Vanilla code

JasonBarnabe

I've filed a few issues on Vanilla's GitHub repos, but I've yet to receive any sort of feedback from anyone on the issues I've filed. I've commented on the code fix required in one issue. I can make a pull request if that's what's needed, but I don't want to waste my time doing so if it's just going to sit there untouched as well.

So what do I need to do to get these bug fixes in?

Howdy Jason, thanks for pointing it out & taking the time to do that. We typically go in cycles of inactivity / uber activity on GitHub issues & pull requests, because everyone with merge power works at the company and there's always too few devs to go around.

Generally, send pull requests against the stage branch if you wanna reduce friction. We are pretty conservative about what we'll allow to hit master directly.

Hiya, community mod here (no affiliation with Vanilla Forums, Inc.).

First, I want to thank you for your contributions! Collaboration is a wonderful thing that is near and dear to my heart.

Second, if you are filing pull requests, you must sign the contributor's agreement here: http://vanillaforums.org/contributors

What seems to happen is this:

The devs keep an eye on the public issue tracker on GitHub. Anything more involved than a typo will have to be reviewed and tested internally before they accept it. Organizing the issues list and PRs is generally done on Fridays.

I hope this helps

Well, I've submitted the PR, I guess we'll see...
