If you are a Ruby on Rails or Javascript developer and are interested in contributing to JoatU we'd love to hear from you! JoatU is currently being programmed by volunteers, and another pair of hands is always welcome. Please feel free to clone or fork the library and explore the code-base. Setup instructions can be found below under "Getting Started", and if you have any issues or feedback on getting the app running, please open an issue (and tag it "development-environment", please).
We use Github Issues for bugs & issue tracking, and specifically the "help wanted" tag for issues that have been triaged and are most ready for outside help. That said, any open, unassigned bug is fair game, with the exception that issues tagged "request-for-comment" are currently under discussion and so should not be worked on.
If you fix an issue, please submit a pull request with your fix, using "fixes #<issue-number>" in the pull request body so that the issue will auto-close when your pull request is merged. If you are fixing a backend bug (Ruby) please include a unit test that will catch any regression of the fixed bug.
If you are not a programmer but still wish contribute please contact us about volunteering.
You can run JoatU locally by following these steps:
