Write Documentation

Django-wiki could always use more documentation, whether as part of the official django-wiki docs, in docstrings, or even on the web in blog posts, articles, and such.

Submit Feedback

The best way to send feedback is to file an issue at https://github.com/django-wiki/django-wiki/issues.

If you are proposing a feature:

Explain in detail how it would work.
Keep the scope as narrow as possible, to make it easier to implement.
Remember that this is a volunteer-driven project, and that contributions are welcome :)

Get Started!

Ready to contribute? Here’s how to set up django-wiki for local development.

Fork the django-wiki repo on GitHub.

Clone your fork locally:

$ git clone git@github.com:your_name_here/django-wiki.git

Go to your fork and install hatch which is the tool we use manage django-wiki
Install your local copy into a new environment. Assuming you have hatch installed, this is how you set up your fork for local development:
```
$ cd django-wiki/
$ hatch env create
```
Create a branch for local development:
```
$ git checkout -b name-of-your-bugfix-or-feature
```
Now you can make your changes locally.
As you are making changes you may want to verify that changes are passing all the relevant functional/unit tests:
```
$ hatch run test:all
```
If you made changes related to the style sheets (SCSS), you need to install sassc (sudo apt install sassc) and run this to compile css:
```
$ hatch run assets
```
When you’re done making changes, perform one final round of testing, and also ensure relevant tests pass with all supported Python versions with our matrix:
```
$ hatch run test
$ hatch run test:all # Runs all tests that pytest would run, just with various Python/Django combinations
```

Commit your changes and push your branch to GitHub:

$ git add .
$ git commit -m "Your detailed description of your changes."
$ git push origin name-of-your-bugfix-or-feature

Submit a pull request through the GitHub website.

Pull Request Guidelines

Before you submit a pull request, check that it meets these guidelines:

The pull request should include tests.
If the pull request adds functionality, the docs should be updated. Put your new functionality into a function with a docstring, and add the feature to the list in README.rst.
The pull request should work for Python 3.6, 3.7, 3.8 and for PyPy. Check the status messages that are automatically generated for your pull request.

Tips

To run a subset of tests:

$ hatch run test:all tests/core/test_basic.py # All tests from a single file.
$ hatch run test:all tests/core/test_basic.py::URLPathTests # All tests from a single class.
$ hatch run test:all tests/core/test_basic.py::URLPathTests::test_manager # Just one test.

Roadmap

The best way to contribute is to use our Github issue list to look at current wishes. The list is found here:

https://github.com/django-wiki/django-wiki/issues/

If you want to add a feature, consider writing a plugin. Please create an issue to discuss whether your plugin idea is a core plugin (wiki.plugins.*) or external plugin. If there are additions needed to the plugin API, we can discuss that as well! A discussion is always welcome in a Github issue.

Generally speaking, we need more unit tests to improve coverage, and new features will not be accepted without tests. To add more stuff to the project without tests wouldn’t be fair to the project or your hard work. We use coverage metrics to see that each new contribution does not significantly impact test coverage.
