First things first: Welcome!

Arriving on this page means that you are interested in helping us out. For that: Welcome and thank you! REEF is a community driven project and we always welcome new people joining us. We are inviting contributions in many forms to all parts of the project, including:

• Bug reports regarding the software, the documentation, the website, guides like this, etc.
• Graphics (for instance, we don't have a logo yet).
• Documentation updates, tutorials, examples.
• Code: Patches, new features, etc

The majority of this guide will discuss the contribution of code.

This page should get you started if you decide to do so, but that doesn't mean that the other contributions are any less valuable.

Getting started

The first step is to join the community by joining our mailing list. Also, it is probably a good idea to learn how to compile and test REEF. And once you are ready to make changes, have a look at the coding guidelines to make sure your code agrees with the rest of REEF.
