  • Please add translations/translation fixes as you see need
Contributing
  • The Trello Board
  • Contributions are always welcome
  • If you want a feature and can code, feel free to fork and add the change yourself and make a pull request
  • PLEASE use the dev branch when contributing as the master branch is supposed to be for stable builds. I will not reject your pull request if you make it on master, but it will annoy me and make my life harder.
  • Code Style
    • Hungarian Notation
      • Prefix member variables with 'm'
      • Prefix static member variables with 's'
    • Use 4 spaces instead of a tab (\t)
