Hi all,

ClearCanvas projects are now open for community contributions!  To encourage consistency in how contributions are made, please take note of the following:

Creating your patch

• Make sure your code conforms to the coding conventions we've set out.
• Any public APIs (i.e., public classes, interfaces, methods, etc.) should have full inline XML documentation that conforms to our API documentation conventions.
  

Submitting your patch

• If you haven't already, make sure you've filled out and submitted the ClearCanvas Contributor's License Agreement.  You only need to do this once.
• Your patch file should have the extension .patch (generated by default by TortoiseSVN)
• Attach your patch to a forum post as is--do not zip it up.
• In your post, be sure to provide a link to:
• The ticket (if there isn't one yet, post and ask for one.)
• Any related forum thread that would be helpful in providing context for the patch
• The subject of the post should just be something meaningful to others when they scan this forum.  Same goes for the name of the patch.
  

The Review Process

We will try to review your patch in a timely manner, but if we're really busy or if the patch is complex or touches many parts of the code base, it may take several days before we can comment on it.  Note that unfortunately, we cannot guarantee that your patch will be accepted.  Acceptance of a patch is dependent on a number of factors, such as code quality, where we are in a release cycle, etc.  If there are reasons for not accepting your patch right away, we will do our best to work with you so that it can be accepted.  If your patch is not accepted, please don't be offended.  Note that others in the community can still download and apply it if they find it useful.

Happy coding!

Norman
