Contributing

If you're interested in this project, you're welcome to help improving it. We need UI designers, translators, and of course Java programmers.

Currently building is supported with gradle in eclipse, android studio and naturally gradle on the command line, see build instructions.

If you are interested in adding a feature or other development work, please reach out to us before embarking on something that might be already in work or a fools errand. For trivial changes (for example typos) please feel free to directly create a pull request. Development currently happens on the master branch, if you are working on a feature please rebase on the HEAD of that branch to keep your code up to date and mergeable, if you have already created a pull request you can force push to github to make in reflect your local work..

Important note: if you are building your own version, particularly if you are making it available to third parties, please change app_version and app_name_version in res/values/appname.xml to something that makes it clear that this is not an "official" release and clearly identifies your builds.

AI/LLM-Generated Contributions

If you choose to use AI tools to help create pull requests and issues, you should follow these additional guidelines:

• Make sure that a human has reviewed, tested, and fully understands all the code changes being submitted.
• If you submit a PR and the maintainers suspect that you haven't reviewed, tested, or understood the code, they may decline your PR without further discussion.
• If what you have submitted goes beyond template code, particularly implementations of more complex algorithms, you need to verify that the generated code is compatible with the licence of this project.
