1. Community organization

1.1. What may I expect from others within Tiki Community?

Community members do their best to follow Tiki Social Contract

1.2. What do others expect from me?

Others expect you to read understand and do your best to follow the Tiki Social Contract.

In addition you are requested to follow these basic rules within Tiki Community:

1.2.1. If you are not a developer

  1. exclaim Use and improve the docs
    Verbose mode:
    1. Search the documentation first and read the FAQ(external link) before asking questions.
    2. When asking questions(external link) update the documentation when you get the answers.
      When answering questions please reference the docs/FAQs/etc. This will increase the visibility (and maybe overall usage) a valuable resource.
    3. Those who complain about the documentation update its pages(external link) to make it better.
  2. exclaim Report bugs or feature enhancement requests
    Verbose mode:
    1. A bug only exists if it's reported in the bugtracker(external link)
    2. When in doubt file a bug report or request a feature/enhancement in the bugtracker(external link)
    3. If you can't code yourself your own enhancement ideas don't expect that your request will be implemented in short if ever. You might be interested in hiring a coder(external link) to do that for you if you think that things are getting done much more slowly than you would need/like.

1.2.2. If you are a developer

The traditional basic 3 rules for developers
  1. Respect Environment
  2. Commit early Commit often
  3. Make it Optional
