It's good to hear that you want to contribute to Pony!
First of all please search existing issues. Apart from bug reports you will find feature requests and work currently in progress too. If you cannot find a suitable issue — create a new one. Potential pull requests are no exception. Before you start working, let's have a discussion and agree on the solution and scope.
Each of bug report, feature request or pull request has to cover different aspects described below.
Provide the following details:
- short summary of what you was trying to achieve,
- a code causing the bug,
- expected result,
- actual results and
- environment details: at least operating system and compiler version (
ponyc -v).
If possible, try to isolate the problem and provide just enough code to demonstrate it. Add any related information which might help to fix the issue.
Define a context and a problem the feature solves. List potential use cases and give some code examples.
Provide the same information as you would for a feature request. Also briefly describe what the implementation might look like.
