Contributing to CZMQ

The contributors are listed in AUTHORS (add yourself). This project uses the MPL v2 license, see LICENSE.

Please read these documents BEFORE you send a patch:

CZMQ grows by the slow and careful accretion of simple, minimal solutions to real problems faced by many people. Some people seem to not understand this. So in case of doubt:

  • Each patch defines one clear and agreed problem, and one clear, minimal, plausible solution. If you come with a large, complex problem and a large, complex solution, you will provoke a negative reaction from CZMQ maintainers and users.

  • We will usually merge patches aggressively, without significant review. If you send us bad patches, without taking the care to read and understand our rules, that reflects on you. Do NOT expect us to do your homework for you.

  • As rapidly we will merge poor quality patches, we will remove them again. If you insist on arguing about this and trying to justify your changes, we will simply ignore you and your patches.

  • CZMQ is not a sandbox where "anything goes until the next stable release". If you want to experiment, use the CZMQ Labs section, or better, experiment in your own projects.

  • If you absolutely cannot format your code to fit the documented style, see #680 for tips on using our code formatter.
