Contribute
==========
Write some code.
----------------
I appreciate any help and love pull requests. Here are some things you
need to respect:
* no hard-wired external services (e.g. Gravatar, Akismet)
* no support for ancient browsers (e.g. IE6-9)
If you create a feature request, start a new branch. If you fix an
issue, start off the *master* branch and pull request against the
master. I'll cherry-pick/backport the fix onto the current legacy
(maintenance) release.
Report issues
-------------
- **Disqus import fails** if ``isso import /path/to/disqus.xml`` fails,
please do *NOT* attach the raw dump file to GH:Issues. Please anonymize all
IP addresses inside the ``<ipAddress>`` tag first, as second step, replace
all ``<email>`` addresses with a generic one.
- **embed.min.js-related issues** if you get a cryptic JavaScript error in
the console, embed ``embed.dev.js`` instead of ``embed.min.js`` and create an
issue with ±10 lines of code around the error.
- **Isso-related issues** Copy and paste traceback into a ticket and provide
some details of your usage.
Translations
------------
Isso supports multiple languages and it is fairly easy to add new translations.
You can either use the `english translation file`__ or use Transifex_. Contact
me on IRC (@posativ) if you want to be the main contributor for a language.
You may notice some "weird" newlines in translations -- that's the separator
for pluralforms_ in the templating engine.

Where I need help.
------------------
Isso is my first projects which involves JavaScript. If you are more
experienced in JS, please take a look at the code (that does not mean, the
Python code is perfect ;-). A few feature requests and issues, where I
definitely need help:
* `Admin Web Interface <https://github.com/posativ/isso/issues/10>`_
administration via email is cumbersome with a high amount of comments. A
administration web interface should include the ability to:
- delete or activate comments matching a filter (e.g. name, email, ip address)
- close threads and remove threads completely
