FAQ: Contributing code
|
||
|
|
======================
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
How can I get started contributing code to Django?
|
||
|
|
--------------------------------------------------
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Thanks for asking! We've written an entire document devoted to this question.
|
||
|
|
It's titled :ref:`Contributing to Django <internals-contributing>`.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
I submitted a bug fix in the ticket system several weeks ago. Why are you ignoring my patch?
|
||
|
|
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Don't worry: We're not ignoring you!
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
It's important to understand there is a difference between "a ticket is being
|
||
|
|
ignored" and "a ticket has not been attended to yet." Django's ticket system
|
||
|
|
contains hundreds of open tickets, of various degrees of impact on end-user
|
||
|
|
functionality, and Django's developers have to review and prioritize.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
On top of that: the people who work on Django are all volunteers. As a result,
|
||
|
|
the amount of time that we have to work on the framework is limited and will
|
||
|
|
vary from week to week depending on our spare time. If we're busy, we may not
|
||
|
|
be able to spend as much time on Django as we might want.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Besides, if your feature request stands no chance of inclusion in Django, we
|
||
|
|
won't ignore it -- we'll just close the ticket. So if your ticket is still
|
||
|
|
open, it doesn't mean we're ignoring you; it just means we haven't had time to
|
||
|
|
look at it yet.
